Abstract– It is now widely recognized that medicinal plants can play a crucial role in conventional medical procedures, shed light on unexplored areas of research and contribute to the conservation of biodiversity. However, in many interior regions of the state of Rajasthan, information on the use of plants for medicine is lacking. Against this background, the present study was started in the tribal-dominated hinterland of the Pali district. Pali District has a total area of 12,387 km², of which 438 km² is urban and 11,949 km² is rural. The aim of the study was to examine the diversity of plant resources used by the local population to treat various diseases. Scientific validation of the medicinal formulations of the tribal formulation can also be effective in treating ailments in this tribe that has no contact with modern medicine or does not want to have one. A semistructured questionnaire and guided field walk method were used to collect information from the healer. The effects of socioeconomic changes and development activities on traditional knowledge are also examined.
