Abstract

The Satpuda ranges communities have historically relied on native plant resources for sustenance, including healthcare, nutrition, and housing. Tribal women traditionally employed local herbs for cosmetic applications. However, with modernization, this indigenous knowledge is gradually fading among younger generations. Hence, this study aims to document the traditional cosmetic practices and uses of plants by local women in Maharashtra's Nandurbar district, focusing on significant plants identified through research.
