Abstract: The preservation of indigenous medicinal plant knowledge is essential for protecting cultural heritage, conserving biodiversity, and promoting sustainable healthcare practices. For centuries, indigenous communities have relied on traditional healing systems rooted in local ecosystems and passed down through oral traditions. These medicinal plants offer affordable, locally accessible remedies that can complement modern healthcare systems, particularly in rural and underserved areas. Origin, phytochemicals, therapeutic use of some traditionally important medicinal plants including Neem, Tulsi, Garlic, Cinchona, Salix, and Ashwagandha, are also shared in this review. However, the continuity of this knowledge is increasingly threatened by modernisation, deforestation, and globalisation, leading to cultural erosion and the loss of valuable medicinal resources. Preserving this heritage not only honours cultural identity but also provides opportunities to integrate traditional remedies with modern scientific research. Effective preservation requires systematic documentation, active community participation, legal protection of intellectual property, and sustainable conservation strategies. Valuing indigenous knowledge systems enables societies to maintain ecological balance, stimulate healthcare innovation, and ensure that future generations benefit from this rich legacy. Moreover, traditional plant knowledge serves as a foundation for modern pharmacological research and the development of new drugs and also creates economic opportunities through herbal product industries, eco-tourism, and sustainable trade, demonstrating their cultural, ecological, and economic significance.
Keywords: Cultural preservation, medicinal plants. Indigenous knowledge system, ancestral knowledge
