The present investigation medicinal plant resources in sacred forests of Garhwal Himalaya were carried out in six sacred protected groves in four districts of Garhwal Himalaya. The aim of the study was to enlist the important plants of medicinal value in these forests. A total of 126 plant species were found of medicinal importance representing 99 genera under 53 families. Herb species contributed the maximum (46.83%) to the total medicinal plant species. The family Rosaceae was the dominant family with (13) species. Leaves are the mostly used plant part, accounting for 41 species followed by roots/rhizomes/bulb with (38) species. The medicine from a tree near temple is considered more holy (prashad) and effective in treating diseases because of penance of deities. The region is enriched with large number of religion based conservation areas with rich vegetation and if studied with wisdom and in detail may prove to be boon for communities and conservation management for such areas. |
