The aim of present Paper compiles the traditional medicinal uses of 13 botanicals plants from Maharashtra viz. Achyranthes aspera, Aloe vera, Gloriosa superba, Justicia adhatoda, Martynia annua, Ruellia tuberosa, Solanum xanthocarpum, Terminalia arjuna, Tinospora cordifolia, Trichodesma indicum, Tridax procumbens, Tribulus terrestris, and Withania somnifera. A interview of rural through questionnaire was administered in the region, and extensive field surveys were conducted from July 2021 to July 2024 to gather ethnobotanical information which was preserved by local communities and supported by ethnomedicinal literature. It explores preparation methods, dosage, administration routes, and perceived efficacy. The study aims to conserve ethnobotanical knowledge and identify promising leads for future drug discovery. The study reports detailed data on each plant’s taxonomy, medicinal parts, preparation methods, and administration modes.
