Abhumka Herbal Private Limited

Abhumka Herbal Private Limited is deeply engrossed in formulizing the indigenous knowledge after validation and value addition of potential herbal practices of tribals of Patalkot Dangs and Aravallis in India. Traditional medicine (TM) occupies a central place among rural communities of developing countries for the provision of health care in the absence of an efficient primary health care system. India is one of the oldest civilizations and it has encyclopedia of tried tested and trusted history of medicinal plants and also a vast bunch of traditional medicinal practices and Traditional Knowledge (TK) which still is unwritten and passed through the words of mouth from generation to generation. The indigenous people are expert in herbal knowledge and the modern world knows it as Indigenous Knowledge (IK). Tribals and indigenous people in India are real power house of traditional herbal knowledge. It is awful that traditional medicinal practices are not being documented along with the protocol of the diseases but it is always better late than never. Documentation of traditional knowledge of tribals will serve as a raw material for R & D and eventually for product formulation. In the later stages Indigenous tribals should be held responsible for the supply of this particular herb when it comes to commercial production of the finished products (3P Model) . We should give them a sense of belonging for the forest and their knowledge of herbal medicines and safeguard their IPR . In this way we could bring forward this community in the main stream where their economic status could be remarkably improved and protected. Our integrated efforts to make the tribals self reliable and self sustaining economically independent politically integrated will also solve their other socio-political problems. We are working towards the execution of Translation of Indigenous Knowledge in totality and towards the establishment of fully integrated 3P System (3 Partner System).
