Ethnobotany is the study of a region's plants and their practical uses through the traditional knowledge of a local culture and people. An ethnobotanist thus strives to document the local customs involving the practical uses of local flora for many aspects of life,such as plants as medicines,foods,intoxicants and clothing. Richard Evans Schultes,often referred to as the "father of ethnobotany",explained the discipline in this way:
Ethnobotany simply means ... investigating plants used by societies in various parts of the world.
Ethnobiology is the scientific study of the way living things are treated or used by different human cultures. It studies the dynamic relationships between people,biota,and environments,from the distant past to the immediate present.
Ethnomedicine is a study or comparison of the traditional medicine based on bioactive compounds in plants and animals and practiced by various ethnic groups,especially those with little access to western medicines,e.g.,indigenous peoples. The word ethnomedicine is sometimes used as a synonym for traditional medicine.
