Different portions of the plants Jarul, Sadaphuli, Anjan and Nux-vomica (of the families Lythraceae, Apocynaceae, Simaroubaceae, Loganiaceae respectively) are reported as being used by "Kol" tribe for treating different diseases. This paper reports treatment practices adopted by Kols for treating diabetes. Survey reveals that the tribal customary wisdom, where drugs derived from different plants are used " in-combination"(i.e. Admixture Dependent Doses, ADD), is more effective.
