Therapeutic perspectives of medicinal plants have been considered as a very important aspect in today’s public health research. Researchers focusing on traditional medicine, elucidates various kinds of common ailments and their treatment process through commonly available medicinal plants. However, this practice is ancient but for past two decades it has gained acceleration in biomedical science. The implementation of medicinal plants in medicine is considered as a valuable resource and a real alternative of primary healthcare for economically developing countries, especially in rural areas. We have done a survey-based study to assess the prevalence of common medicinal plants in a random population in West Bengal, India. Our findings broadly highlight the fact that Tulsi (Ocimum tenuiflorum), Neem (Azadirachta indica), Aloe (Aloe vera) are the most used as raw traditional medicine for treating several clinical issues like immunity boosting, cough and cold, dermatological problems etc. These plants have the high growth rate in Indian subcontinent and are easy to maintain in kitchen gardens. We predict that a regulated chronic usage of these medicinal plants can be beneficial for domestic healthcare perspectives and will help to prevent several common diseases.
