An ethnobotanical survey was conducted among tribes in the Yercaud hills in the Eastern Ghats. According to our study, the documentation of herbal medicine and indigenous knowledge can be used as a tool to conserve and sustainably use herbal medicine in the area. This can be done by validating these plant preparations for various ailments. Based on interactions with traditional medicine practitioners; it has been observed that a total of 57 medicinal plants belonging to 28 families are used to cure various diseases.
