Plants are the 'VISHNOs' of our ecosystem. Hindus believe that the
Vishnu (god) sustains the universe. Several traditional communities
around the world and cultures today have profound imprints of
people-plant interaction. Plants have been the only source and
inspiration for treatment and healing of ailments. Modern
scientific scholarship realizes that ethnobotany is one of the
potential basis for the discovery of new, alternate and safe drugs
for most pressing diseases like CANCER etc. This book brings folk
wisdom of traditional communities from Shinaki area of famous HUNZA
Valley. Research area falls within the laps of inaccessible mighty
Karakorum Mountains which is considered to be taxonomically complex
and rich for biodiversity. Modern ignorance has led to extinction
of several species and lot of ethnobotanical knowledge. Book will
be useful for ethnobotanists, conservationists, pharmacists,
phytochemists, taxonomists, zoopharmacologists, botanists and
students of biology etc.
