Abstract
Plants are an important source of modern medicine. Ethnic
communities/rural people largely depend on the folk medicinal system that is not
documented systemically but could play a key role in drug discovery. Ethnobotanical
surveys are an important tool to extract such knowledge from people transmitted
mostly verbally from generation to generation. Tripura is a small state in India but is
considered a storehouse of important medicinal plants. Different tribes and local people
of Tripura use numerous plants in their daily life to meet medicinal needs. Several
ethnobotanical surveys were conducted in Tripura and documented the medicinal use
of plants. Pain, inflammation and wound are a few common problems associated with
our daily life. This chapter focused on the traditional medicinal plants used in the
treatment of pain, inflammation and wound by the people of Tripura.
Keywords: Tripura, Ethnobotany, Medicinal plants, Pain, Inflammation, Wound.
