Abstract
Around 80% of the world's population relies primarily on traditional medicines to treat primary health issues. Despite being regarded as a valuable component of healthcare for centuries, pteridophytes remain underexplored in ethnobotanical aspects in comparison to other vascular plants. Man has been interacting with plants almost from the beginning of time. Plants have always met human needs like food, firewood, livestock feed, and wood throughout human history. There are approximately three million vascular plants in the world. Since ancient times, people on all continents have used medicinal plants to treat a variety of ailments. Plants are responsible for the production of nearly one-quarter of all pharmaceuticals approved by the drug administration boards, despite the fact that synthetic organic chemistry has grown significantly over the past century. Pteridophytes are being studied for their pharmacological activity as an alternative medicine. Since pteridophytes were the first vascular plants, humans began investigating and utilizing species of plants from this lineage nearly two thousand years ago due to their beneficial properties. For their potential applications in the treatment of a variety of chronic diseases and infections, phytochemicals with antioxidant, antibacterial, or inflammation-fighting properties have become increasingly sought after. There are a lot of pteridophytes in the Vindhya valley, some of which are even very common and frequently grow with angiosperms. The purpose of the study was to determine the prevalence of these pteridophytic members in the Kymore Hills of the Vindhyan region. They must be protected right away. This study primarily focuses on medicinal pteridophytes, which are widely used by rural and tribal Madhya Pradesh. This study presents a large number of pteridophyte plant species used in a variety of medical applications. The distribution, medicinal uses, and botanical name are provided. In this study, people were interviewed from the Satpura Hills, Amarkantak Hills, Asirgarh Hills, Jabalpur, Mandla, Chhindwara, Rewa region, Sidhi, and Sagar.
