Journal Title: TMR Integrative Medicine - Year 2021, Vol 5, Issue 28
Abstract
Objective: This manuscript is inspired by the usage of traditional medicines i.e., Ethnomedicines. It aims to collect the available data on Odisha’s native medicinal flora to provide a relatively updated, comprehensive, and categorized idea on ethnomedicinal species with their therapeutic usage. This survey reveals about 264 medicinal plant species frequently used by different non-tribal and tribal communities of the study area in the prevention and treatment of 11 different urogenital disorders or related issues. Methods: The data from different published research and review articles confined to ethnomedicinal plants in different scientific databases like Google, ScienceDirect, Pubmed, etc were captured by specific keywords. Results: The relevant information regarding correct taxonomic identification with family, common locally assigned names, plant parts that are in use with the correct mode of administration concerning different health ailments about the urogenital system has been analyzed in this review. Conclusion: This paper presents a compilation of commonly used plant parts administered in different parts of Odisha, to treat various urogenital issues. This could provide great potential for the discovery of more potent bioactive compounds, which are produced as the secondary metabolites by the medicinal flora. Hence further phytochemical screening, antimicrobial studies on these plant parts need to be conducted to explore their potential as important medicinal plant species.
