Traditional knowledge of local vaidhyas about medicinal plants and their importance in local health care is well
known since Vedic period. Plants are considered as divine in origin and were worshipped as Mother (Goddess).
Screening of medicinal plants has become a potential source of bio-dynamic compounds of therapeutic value in
phytochemical researches. Ethnobotanical documentation is one way of capturing this body of knowledge. Hence
the survey of medicinal plants and their traditional uses by traditional practitioners of Badami taluk of Bagalkot
