- Abstract
The article discusses the use of traditional plant medicines in the treatment of musculoskeletal disorders. The authors begin by arguing for the importance of preserving cultural knowledge related to the traditional medicines of indigenous peoples. They go on to examine musculoskeletal problems developed by rural women living in the Udaipur district of Rajasthan, India, and the plant species used to treat them. Focus is given to the results of a survey conducted among these women pertaining to their indigenous knowledge of the region's biodiversity.
