Medicinal plants are frequently employed by Gujjar and Bakerwal tribes in Rajouri and Poonch districts of Jammu and Kashmir, India for treatment of various ailments in humans and livestock. Hence, extensive field work was conducted to document the ethnomedicinal plants used by these tribes.
Ninety one key informants were interviewed using both in situ and ex situ type of survey methods. The data were analyzed using user value (UV), informant consensus factor (Fic), fidelity level (FL) and relative frequency of citation (Rfc).
A total of 104 species of medicinal plants used in the treatment of 40 different non-communicable ailments with 138 remedies are reported. Cephalanthera longifolia (L.) Fritsch was recorded for the first time with ethnomedicinal uses and the rest of the species were previously reported with different medicinal uses by other tribal people. Out of 138 remedies, 129 were employed for human ailments and the remaining seven were used to treat livestock. Most of the species were harvested for leaves (24 species). Herbs (66 species) were the major life form used for medicinal purpose and the most common method of remedy preparation was decoction/tea (27.8%). The highest use value plant was Verbascum thapsus L. for the treatment of stomachache and snake bite.
Plants such as Allium humile Kunth, Angelica glauca Edgew, Arnebia benthamii (Wall. ex G. Don) I.M.Johnst, Asparagus racemosus Willd., Balanophora involucrata Hook. f. & Thomson, C. longifolia (L.) Fritsch, Cuscuta epithymum (L.) L., Geranium wallichianum D. Don ex Sweet, Gloriosa superb L., Habenaria intermedia D. Don, Phyllanthus emblica L., Ramaria Formosa (Pers.) Quel. and V. thapsus L. showing high Rfc and FL values may be studied for associated pharmacological activities.
在印度查谟和克什米尔的拉朱里和蓬奇地区，古贾尔和巴克尔瓦尔部落经常使用药用植物来治疗人类和牲畜的各种疾病。因此，进行了广泛的实地工作来记录这些部落使用的民族医学植物。
采用原地和异地调查方法采访了 91 名关键信息提供者。使用用户价值（UV）、信息共识因子（Fic）、保真度水平（FL）和相对引用频率（Rfc）对数据进行了分析。
共记录了 104 种药用植物，用于治疗 40 种不同的非传染性疾病，有 138 种疗法。首次记录了 Cephalanthera longifolia（L.）Fritsch 的民族医学用途，其余物种以前曾被其他部落人民报告过不同的药用用途。在 138 种疗法中，有 129 种用于治疗人类疾病，其余 7 种用于治疗牲畜。大多数物种用于采集叶子（24 种）。草药（66 种）是主要的生活形式，用于药用目的，最常见的治疗方法是煎剂/茶（27.8%）。最高使用价值的植物是 Verbascum thapsus L.，用于治疗胃痛和蛇咬伤。
像 Allium humile Kunth、Angelica glauca Edgew、Arnebia benthamii（Wall. ex G. Don）I.M.Johnst、Asparagus racemosus Willd.、Balanophora involucrata Hook. f. & Thomson、C. longifolia（L.）Fritsch、Cuscuta epithymum（L.）L.、Geranium wallichianum D. Don ex Sweet、Gloriosa superb L.、Habenaria intermedia D. Don、Phyllanthus emblica L.、Ramaria Formosa（Pers.）Quel. 和 V. thapsus L. 等植物，其相对引用频率和保真度值较高，可能与相关的药理活性有关，值得进一步研究。
