Abstract

The popularity of alternative medicine is rising and traditional alternative systems of medicine are gaining in followership in current times.The Unani system of
medicine is based on natural healing, involving balance and harmony of physical, mental and spiritual realms. Plants form an important component of the Unani pharmacopoeia. The area of study viz. Jnanadweep, popular as Vidya Prasarak Mandal’s Thane college
campus is an island campus situated in the Chendani area of Thane city in Maharashtra, India, alongside the Thane creek. The campus is laden with plants, many of which have importance as contributors in traditional systems of healing. The rich assemblage of flora on the campus coupled by the general lack of information and knowledge on their attributes and applications as lants used in the traditional systems of healing and the Unani system of medicine inspired the current investigation. This communication is part of an ongoing study for documenting plants of medicinal value found on the Jnanadweep educational campus.
