Majority of our tribals who form around 8 per cent of our population are forest dwellers, leading a partially isolated life. Selective pressure of nature for ages has created culture/eco specific genetico- environmental health problems among them.In response to this tribal societies through trial and error have invented a number of culture/eco-specific remedies for such disorders. The diversity of tribal culture and their habitat is reflected in their therapeutic practices also. Studies on this aspect of tribal life is relatively few and we bring out this work in order to initiate a discussion among health workers, researchers and medical practitioners working among tribals on various aspects tribal health.
