Abstract

The hepatoprotective properties of medicinal plants have been the subject of numerous investigations. Because numerous plant chemicals are known to interfere with the human digestive system, there is a widespread traditional use of plants to cure a variety of ailments, including liver-related issues. The present research deals with the documenting of ethnomedicinal uses of plant and their parts, notably the liver protective plants utilized by Banjara tribe of Yavatmal range forest of Yavatmal district. The Yavatmal forest range was chosen for research because the indigenous people living there primarily rely on the forest's flora for their survival and utilize herbal remedies to treat illnesses. Over the course of five years (2005–2010), a total of 26 plants hepatoprotective were recorded and documented which are used by tribals of Umarkhed taluka people.
