The present study aimed to report the ethnomedicinal information from Kotli Sattian, district Rawalpindi for detailed medicinal uses and to inform the community about conservation of medicinal plant diversity and ethnomedicinal knowledge of plants.
Ethnomedicinal data were collected via Rapid Appraisal Approach (RAA) along with interview, group meetings with local people having awareness about medicinal knowledge of plants and individual meetings with local healers.
This study reported eighty seven (87) indigenous medicinal plants, distributed among fifty five (55) families and seventy nine (79) genera. Among these, herbs contributed 43%, trees 28%, shrubs 21% and climbing plants 8%. About 34% of herbal preparations were made from whole plants followed by the leaves (27%), fruits (08%), bark (06%), seeds (05%), root (05%), rhizome (04%), stem, flower, gum, pod and tubers (02%) and milky latex (01%). Justicia adhatoda showed the maximum use value (0.91) while Cuscuta reflexa showed the least use value (0.11).
Elder people in the study area still rely on herbal remedies although the modern heath care facilities are present in the study area; thus, the indigenous plants remain important medicines in solving health problems.
本研究旨在报告拉瓦尔品第县科特利萨蒂安的民族医学信息，详细说明药物用途，并告知社区保护药用植物多样性和植物民族医学知识。
通过快速评估方法（RAA）以及访谈、与具有植物药用知识意识的当地人小组会议以及与当地治疗师的个人会议，收集民族医学数据。
本研究报告了 87 种土生土长的药用植物，分布在 55 个科和 79 个属中。其中，草药占 43%，树木占 28%，灌木占 21%，攀援植物占 8%。大约 34%的草药制剂是由全植物制成的，其次是叶子（27%）、果实（08%）、树皮（06%）、种子（05%）、根（05%）、根茎（04%）、茎、花、胶、荚和块茎（02%）和乳状乳胶（01%）。Justicia adhatoda 的使用价值最高（0.91），而 Cuscuta reflexa 的使用价值最低（0.11）。
尽管研究地区已经存在现代医疗保健设施，但该地区的老年人仍然依赖草药治疗方法；因此，土生土长的植物仍然是解决健康问题的重要药物。
