Medicinal plants used by the Tamang community in the Makawanpur district of central Nepal.

Background: We can conserve cultural heritage and gain extensive knowledge of plant species with pharmacological potential to cure simple to life-threatening diseases by studying the use of plants in indigenous communities. Therefore, it is important to conduct ethnobotanical studies in indigenous communities and to validate the reported uses of plants by comparing ethnobotanical studies with phytochemical and pharmacological studies.

Materials And Methods: This study was conducted in a Tamang community dwelling in the Makawanpur district of central Nepal.
