1 Ethnobotanical survey and documentation of some orchid species of Kashmir Himalaya, J&K-India Gowhar A. Shapoo*, Zahoor A. Kaloo, Aijaz Hassan Ganie and Seema Singh Plant Tissue Culture Research Lab. Department of Botany, University of Kashmir, Hazratbal- Srinagar; SUBJECTS: ABSTRACT Background: The present study is an attempt to survey and document the less known or new ethno-medicinal uses of some orchids from Kashmir Himalaya. The ethnic knowledge can provide an insight for further research in pharmacology. Aims: The present investigation has been undertaken to collect base line information on ethno-medicinal importance of some orchid species traditionally used in this part of the world. Methods and Material: To collect the base line information regarding the traditional medicinal uses of different orchid species, interactions, personal interviews were carried out with local people, herbal healers (Hakims), traditional knowledge holders, shepherds and nomads. The orchid specimens collected from different areas were properly processed and herbarium specimen of each species was deposited at Kashmir University Herbarium (KASH). Results: The present study revealed that 7 orchid species are used in traditional medicine in Kashmir Himalaya. These orchid species are used to treat 24 types of different diseases. For particular diseases more than one orchid species is used to cure. Whole herb, tubers and rhizomes are the main part/parts to treat different types of diseases. Conclusion: The present study revealed that in Kashmir Himalaya 7 orchid species are used ethno-medicinally to treat different diseases. Total of 24 diseases are cured by these orchid species. Key words: Diseases, Ethno-medicine, Orchid, Pharmacology, Rhizome, Traditional medicine, Tuber, Whole herb. Introduction Orchids are known for their beautiful flowers and are among the most highly prized ornamental plants. In addition to their ornamental value, orchids are also known for their medicinal usage especially in the traditional systems of medicine (Jalal et al., 2008). It is believed that the Chinese were the first to describe orchids for medicinal uses (Bulpitt, 2005). As early as 200 BC the Chinese pharmacopoeia - the Sang Nung Pen Tsao Ching, mentions Dendrobium as a source of tonic, astringent, analgesic and anti-inflammatory drugs (Singh et al. 2007). Theophrastus in his Enquiry into Plants reported that the orchids had medicinal properties. Greeks also believed in the Doctrine of Signatures that orchids are good for human vitality. Later, the name was adopted by Disocorides (1st century AD) in his Materia Medica where descriptions of two orchids were given along with several species of medicinal plants. In India the medicinal properties of orchids have been used since Vedic period. Ashtawarga is a group of 8 drugs in Ayurvedic system which is used for preparation of tonics, such as Chyavanparas, which consists of 4 orchid species, viz; Malaxis muscifera (Lindl.) Kuntze, Malaxis acuminata D.Don, Habenaria intermedia D.Don and Habenaria edgeworthi Hook. f. Around 40 other orchid species are being used in indigenous medicine systems (Singh et al. 2007). Many orchids play a significant role in traditional systems of medicine because they are rich in alkaloids, flavonoids, glycosides and photochemical contents (Rosa, 2010). Kashmir Himalaya is a home of rich repository of orchids and till date studies on ethnomedicinal uses of orchids of the area has not been carried out. Therefore the present work has been undertaken to collect base line information on ethno-medicinal importance of some orchid species traditionally used in this part of the world. Material and methods Kashmir Himalaya is situated in northern fringe of the Indian sub-continent between 33 o 22 and 34 o 50 N latitudes and 73 o 55 and 73 o 33 E longitudes covering an area of about 2, 22,797sq Km. The present ethnobotanical study was carried out from in different areas of Kashmir Himalaya (Fig 1) in different seasons. To collect the base line information regarding the traditional medicinal uses of different orchid species, interactions, personal interviews were carried out with local people, herbal healers (Hakims), traditional ISSN : X Vol 4 Issue 2 Apr-May

2 knowledge holders, shepherds and nomads. The orchid specimens collected from different areas were properly processed and herbarium specimen of each species was deposited at Kashmir University Herbarium (KASH). Results and discussion The present study revealed that 7 orchid species are being used in traditional medicine in Kashmir Himalaya. The scientific name, vernacular name, english name, diseases cured, part/parts used, method of preparation, dosage and precautions are depicted in Table 1. Theses 7 species belongs to 6 genera and are used to cure different diseases in traditional medicinal system of Kashmir Himalaya. These orchid species are used to cure 24 types of different diseases. For particular disease like general weakness, skin diseases, sexual weakness and wounds more than one orchid species are used. Tubers are used to treat maximum (12) number of diseases followed by whole herb (8) and rhizomes (7) respectively (Fig.2). The drugs prepared from these orchid species are taken orally or applied externally in the form of decoction, tea, poultice, infusion and paste. The medicinal plants provide a major part of the medicines for treatment of different diseases and until now, tribal people living in poor communities in remote areas depend on the plant-based medicines largely. Today, the local people of different regions throughout the world use many orchids for a variety of folk medicines and cures, which suggests a wealth of knowledge on herbal healthcare. Scientists are looking for possible cures in traditional herbs and are painstakingly collecting, studying and analyzing ancient recipes in an effort to identify the active ingredients. Many plants used in traditional medicine are reported to contain various chemical compounds responsible for their curative properties (Phondani, 2011). In India the orchids are used as medicine in different parts to cure various diseases. Jalal et al. (2008) and Joshi et al. (2009) have reported 12 and 17species of orchids respectively from Uttarakhand which are used in traditional medicine. Dash et al. (2008) reported 20 medicinal orchid species from Orissa which are used to 33 different kinds of diseases. In Madhya Pradesh 15 orchid species are used to treat 14 different types of diseases (Tiwari et al., 2012). In Astervarga of the eight plant species used, four belongs to orchids (Balkrishana et al., 2012). The present study is an attempt to survey and document the less known or new ethno-medicinal uses of orchids from Kashmir Himalaya. The ethnic knowledge can provide an insight for further research in pharmacology. The wild populations of these species are restricted in distribution and are not sufficient to meet the demand in drug industry. Hence propagation through tissue culture is recommended for mass multiplication and conservation of these wild medicinal orchids. Conclusion The present study document 7 orchid species for treatment of different diseases in Kashmir Himalaya. The number of diseases cured, part/parts used, method of preparation and administration, dosage and precautions if any to cure various diseases have also been recorded. Total of 24 diseases are cured by these orchid species. Acknowledgements We are highly thankful to the Head, Department of Botany, University of Kashmir, Srinagar, for providing necessary facilities.
