Indigenous knowledge may be define as “the knowledge that is unique to given a culture or
society which provided base for agriculture, health care, food preparation, education,
environmental conservation and other life process on local level (Thomas 1995).
Indigenous communities of different localities of the world have developed their own specific
knowledge on plants resources, uses, natural resources management and conservation (cotton
1996). Developed countries need to access by bio-diversity resources and developing countries
seek to ensure the access is regulated and to ensure fair and equitable sharing of benefits
In Pakistan the local countries of different regions have centuries old knowledge and traditional
practices of most of the plant occurring in their regions. This Indigenous knowledge of plants
has been transferred from generation to generation through oral communication and personal
experience (Shinwari 2010). They use native medicinal plants for primary health care
(Bhardwaj and Gakhar 2005). In early 1950 up to 84% of Pakistani population were dependent
on Indigenous medicine for traditional health practices (Hocking 1958), but now this is

For the reason that Indigenous knowledge develops and change with the passage of time, with
tradition and religious interaction of people with plants and environment (Balick and cox
1996).
Many studies have been conducted on the Indigenous uses of medicinal plants in Pakistan as
reviewed by Shinwari (2010), Shinwari, Gilani (2003) and Humayun et al (2006), describe
Indigenous knowledge of medicinal plants from northern areas Pakistan. Work carried out in
district Swat on important medicinal plants was published by Sher (2002) and Sher et al (2003)
respectively. Ali and Qaiser (2009) reported 83 taxa that were used locally in Chitral district of

REVIEW OF LITERATURE
Medicinal plants have been under the constant vigilance of botanist and ethno-botanists to analyze its
germplasm for pharmaceutical purposes as a remedy of different common diseases under the different
environmental regimes throughout the world. It is never ending process and botanists have to continue
their effort constantly to revel actual ingredient and the usefulness of medicinal flora to mankind on
global basis. As a result of these scientific effort a vast source of literature is available. However, the
Berlin et al. (1974), during several years of field work at Maya-speaking group of highlands of Chiapas,
a state of southern Mexico, collected and document many hundreds of folk botanical categories.

Spring, (1989) has reported the pharmacological activities correlated with medicinal uses of 37 potential
medicinal plants employed by the Laotian Hmong refugees in the twin cities of Minneapolis and St.
Paul, Minnesota. The ethno-pharmacological analysis revealed that 92% of these cultivated medicinal
plants were highly efficacious and frequently used in their diet (81%) to medicinal against various
ailments.
Capitanio, et. Al., (1989) have reported 100 anti-leucodermic traditional herbal medicine consisting of
80 medicinal plant species being employed by Caucasian in the Mediterranean area. The possibility of
the recorded plant species in stimulating physiological skin pigmentation is described in the light of
photochemical and pharmacological knowledge. Some of these plants are reported to contain
epidermal keratin.

Haq (1993) reported the 52 wild and 17 cultivated medicinal plants of Mansehra district and found that

benefits from the Unani system of medicine in spite of very sophisticated hospitals and allopathic
practitioners which work under the government of Pakistan. In the rural areas, household remedies are

Ahmad and Ali, (1998) observed that research works should be formulized on base line of indigenous
studies because there are still some diseases like “cancer and aids”, for which there are no identified
remedies and cures. So ethno botanical approach can help in such type of research.
Shinwari Khan, (1998). People living in tribal localities and in villages are using indigenous plants as
medicines from long ago because this knowledge reaches to them through generation to generation, and

facilities. Inhabitants are dominantly poor or middle class and the prices of synthetic drugs are rising

Sharma, (2003) the current value of global trade of the medicinal plants products has been put over US$
75 billion per year and is growing at the rate of 12.5% annually. Of the total value of trade, about 20
billion US$ accounts for over the counter drug, over US$ 25 billion for prescription drugs remaining
US$ 30 billion for the nutritional supplements. Bulk of the raw materials (90%) is produced in
developing countries (Asia, Africa, and Latin America) and 60% is imported/processed and used in the
developed countries. About 90% of the marked material is collected from the wild resources.
Sharma, (2003). To avert the process of degradative exploitation of natural resources base and
increasing poverty in the regions, the need to be evolve a research and development action plan for

Singh et.al., (2003) the relentless exploitation during the translation from tradition to modern and
subsistence to market orientation disturbed the ecological balance and adversely effected their economic
life along with the resource base. The result was that slowly the mountain people lost control over their
economic destiny. The natural resources how to ever large are bound to diminish hence need effective
strategy for sustainable utilization. The need is bring these plants under plough to meet the rising
Bhikhsu atreya, a professor of the University of Taxila and his student named jivaka were the well-
known person with an intimate knowledge of the characteristics of medicinal plants. They discover that
the mountain people rely on forest-based activities like hunting, herb gathering, foraging and to some
extent on cropping. In these areas different indigenous systems of medicine exist since centuries and
cater the needs of nearly 70% human population and livestock. (Singh et, al. 2003)
Shabbir et. al., (2003) reported that consequently, medicinal herbs are predominantly harvested in
sufficient quantities from the wild in an unregulated manner. Being an important integral part of the
development intervention in botanist can play a crucial role in mitigating the degradative exploitation
and increasing poverty. The in-situ cultivation of medicinal and aromatic herb can play an important
role in local economy. Moreover, farm product could be certified as to source, identify and quality Apart
from health care, this enterprise may provide means of livelihood to sources of people.

AREA EXPLORATION
Trips were arranged to different sites of the village Kausar fatah khel to explore and collect important
flora of the area during the year 2015. A total of thirty (30) medicinal plants belonging to 21 families
were photographed. All the plants were conserved systematically in the department of Botany,
MEDICINAL FLORA
During exploratory trips, the medicinal flora was carefully collected by the adopting the recommended
procedure used by M. Ahmad and Ali, (1998) and photographed were clipped of the spots. Local
inhabitants were interviewed to know about the uses of the indigenous flora for covering different
diseases. The local people were also interviewed for data collection by using the questioner both old
generation and young generation were also interviewed to compare the outlines of the local flora.

The aims of the comparison is to extract the knowledge about the plants collected in relation to age
differences. The information was then compared with each other and the people of the other villages of
district were provoked to share and added their experiences. Such type of efforts are required to induce
awareness in local about the conservation of the wealth of useful plants for their coming generation.
Repeated queries were made to formulate the correct data. Outcome of the results were re checked and

CONCLUSION
The research work conducted in village kausar Fatah khel, (BANNU) during 2013-2015, showed that
the numbers of plant species are commonly found in the area due to the reason of proper irrigation
system. Majority of the peoples used these medicinal plants traditionally as a medicine for different
diseases. The older people of the area now the importance of these plants and they transfer their
knowledge to the younger. This is first research work attempt in this area in which medicinally
important plants were identified, classified and collected. The result showed that this area contain
valuable plant species which need conservation and proper management. All the mentioned species are
cultivated by people for its fruits and economical purposes, beside this all the mentioned plants species
have important medicinal values. Peoples of these area use this medicinal plants due to their medicinal
important.
