Validation and Credibility of Traditional Ethno-medicinal Practices in Jhunjhunu District: A Pharmacological and Socio-ecological Perspective

Author(s) Maneesha Mishra, Anita Dhaka
Country India
Abstract Traditional ethno-medicinal knowledge represents an important component of indigenous healthcare systems, particularly in rural and semi-arid regions of India. The Jhunjhunu district of Rajasthan, characterized by its unique ecological conditions and strong cultural traditions, possesses a rich repository of plant-based medicinal practices used by local communities and traditional healers. This study aims to examine the validation and credibility of traditional ethno-medicinal practices prevalent in Jhunjhunu by integrating pharmacological insights with socio-ecological perspectives. The research documents commonly used medicinal plants, their preparation methods, and therapeutic applications as practiced by local healers and rural households. It further evaluates the pharmacological properties of selected plant species through available scientific literature and laboratory findings to assess their medicinal efficacy. In addition, the study explores the socio-ecological factors that influence the preservation, transmission, and sustainability of traditional knowledge systems, including community dependence on local biodiversity, intergenerational knowledge transfer, and the role of cultural beliefs. By bridging indigenous knowledge with scientific validation, the research highlights the potential of traditional medicine as a complementary healthcare resource and underscores the need for systematic documentation, conservation of medicinal plant biodiversity, and policy support for safeguarding traditional knowledge. The findings contribute to strengthening the credibility of ethno-medicinal practices while promoting sustainable healthcare and biodiversity conservation.
