INTRODUCTION
Ayurvedic medicines are most important in our life. They cure illness without any side effect.
The information given in this paper includes teluguname, scientific name, family, which part
used, direction and use. There so many drugs are to treat illness but long term used of this
synthetic medicine associated with various adverse effects like tolerance, resiststance, nausea,
vomiting drowsiness, dizziness, and abdominal pain.[1]
Therefore, search for new drugs is
essential from natural source. Since the time man first discovered the plant kingdom as a rich
and convenient source of his food, he returned to this kingdom repeatedly and found
remedies for illness too. As a result, several knowledge-bases of how to treat or prevent
illness and diseases using plants were generated.[2]

of Chhattisgarh is endowed with about 22 varied forest sub-types existing in the state. Most
of the medicinal valuable species are in the category of on-Nationalized Non-Wood Forest
Produces are the one on which the state does not have any monopolistic control. The rich and
unique biological diversity comprises of 911 genera and 196 families. The state is
significantly rich in endemism with respect to many plants having medicinal importance.[3,4]
Many traditional healers and herbalists in the Chhattisgarh region of India have been treating
helminthiasis patients for many years using various medicinal plant species.[5]
So intensive
plant survey have been performed to explore plants effective against helminthiasis used by
the traditional healers of Chhattisgarh. Since the origin of life on earth man has been in
harmony with the nature. The nature provides a lot of Knowledge about plant wealth.
Traditionally this information has been passed from generation to generation which has being
practiced by the indigenous group of people of different areas These group of people possess
the distinct food habits, culture, which reflects the traditional medicine. Even today, this
herbal medicine is in practice to cure variety of diseases. Hence research on these plants is of
utmost importance to detect more number of properties about these plants. This herbal
medicine has been practicing in rural areas for different diseases. Implication of the
knowledge of those indigenous people into practice helped the researchers to develop the
present formulation into a better approach with more therapeutic effect. This survey is
conducted to make a place for many unrecognized medicinal plants in clinical trials. Many
studies have been conducted on these plants in different areas in order to evaluate their
properties. About 40 plants were collected which are very useful to treat various diseases
caused by helminths. This research led us to work on more plants which play a key role in
treating various diseases caused. Further proceedings on these plants may probably reveal
many properties that can cure various diseases. These plants are the basics for the traditional
Ayurveda system which does not show more side effects.[6]
Collection of Medicinal Plants[6-16]
The present investigation was conducted using questionnaire in rural areas situated around
Narsampet, Warangal Rural, Telangana. The main aim of this study is to collect the oral
information about the medicinal plants from the natives who were being practicing from
generations together.
