The study of ethnomedicine remains one of the neglected areas of research specially in the context of Arunachal Pradesh. Perhaps this book is the first serious attempt to textualise the ethnomedicinal wisdom of some of the tribes of Arunachal Pradesh. Moreover, it is based on the empirical works of the indigenous scholars of Arunachal Pradesh alongwith some others of different academic background and associated with different reputed Institutions of North-East India.
This book will not only help an interested scholar to take a dip into the treasure of indigenous wisdom but also can be conceived of as a breeding ground for germinating future researches in the field of ethnomedicine of this sub-Himalayan frontier state. |
