Ethnobotanical techniques are steadily increasing in both developing and industrialised countries. Herbal items are also gaining popularity on the national and international markets. No nation can progress unless its national heritage and traditions are made understandable and accessible to everybody. The necessity of the hour is to make the rich biodiversity and associated indigenous knowledge system more understandable and accessible to the masses for their long-term use. The Banswara is noted for its scenic beauty, dense tribal population, and rich culture and tradition built on a complex relationship with nature. Plants and plant products play an essential role in Rajasthan's tribal culture. These plant species are utilised as food plants, agricultural season indicators, and in the treatment of a variety of illnesses. These traditional treatments are used alongside modern medicines in the rural population. In the years 2011-2013, an ethnobotanical research was carried out in Banswara's Ghatol-Peepalkhunt forest area, which has been significantly less investigated from the standpoint of plant folk customs. According to the findings, tribes in this area still prefer to utilise herbs for various diagnostic purposes, either as a complete plant or in various sections such as leaves, stems, bark, and roots, either directly or in various traditional formulations. In the Ghatol-Peepalkhunt area, some 38 plant species from 35 genera and 22 families are used ethno-medicinally by rural people in 12 villages. Traditional knowledge on the ethno-medicinal uses of these plants must be documented in order to conserve plant resources and develop new drugs.
