Abstract

The present research work was done to explore the data related to some important medicinal plants of Tehsil Shahpur, District Sargodha. A number of field trips were carried out to collect the ethnomedicinal information of the selected plants by using open ended questionnaires and informal interviews. The research work was conducted April 2023 to October 2023. According to the information provided by the respondents, leaves of the selected plants are mostly used by local peoples to cure a number of ailments and health issues followed by stem. Mostly the plant parts are used in the form of decoction and infusion. After the surveys it was revealed that young people (male and females) traditional knowledge is not properly transferred from old people to younger generation. Less data was gathered from young peoples as compared to older peoples. That’s why most of the people of modern era are unaware of the medicinal importance of the selected plants. After the research work it was concluded that awareness among the people of Shahpur about the use and conservation of plants is necessary.
