INDIGENOUS THERAPEUTIC PRACTICES FOR THE MANAGEMENT OF HEMORRHOIDS IN NORTHEAST INDIA

The goal of present investigation is to throw light on the traditional knowledge of indigenous tribal communities of Northeast region of India with special reference to Sivasagar district of Assam and Namsai district of Arunachal Pradesh on the use of various medicinal flora and fauna in the treatment of various ailments especially like piles. Hemorrhoids or piles are a common problem faced by around 60% of the people of the North eastern region. Most of the used medicinal flora and fauna are native to the local area as the region has tremendous potential of bio-resources. Despite being rich in ethnicity and well equipped with traditional knowledge, due to lack of proper documentation and ethical belief, much useful information is confined only to the local folk communities. The present research is an assemblage of reports of folk medicines used by local people or Kabiraj for the treatment of piles through individual questionnaires. And the information generated from the current study will provide valuable facts of the indigenous medicine to the masses for proper utilization and systematic commercialization with scientific practices.
