Knowledge on ethnogynaecology of Indian Tribes- a comprehensive review.

Ethnopharmacological Relevance: Ethnogynaecology is an emerging branch of science dealing with the treatment of gynaecological ailments by tribals, local healers, and traditional practitioners. The ethnogynaecological importance of medicinal plants in India is a fertile area to conduct more scientific studies to evaluate their potentialities, to isolate bioactive compounds, and thereby to develop drugs for the common gynaecological health-related issues faced by women everywhere.

Objectives: The Indigenous medical knowledge systems of India have not been properly documented with special reference to ethnogynaecology.
