ABSTRACT:
A common member of Zingiberaceae, Tikhur (Curcuma angustifolia Roxb.), is an economically important grassy plant grown in wet woodlands in the heart of India. Gariaband of Chhattisgarh - more specifically, in Gariaband, Chhura, and Mainpur Block, this type is an important part of the Gond, Kamar, and Halba of tradition, nutrition, and health systems. This study will assess the properties of Tikhur flowers, environmental conditions, and ethnobotanical values in these regions. Fieldwork has been conducted since 2024-2025 and covers the collection of environmental studies and ethnobotanical data in randomly selected fields by interviewing local residents and traditional healers. The results show that Tikhur survives primarily in wet, shaded, drained soil. His starch-rich rhizomes are treated with flour. This flour is a healthy baby food used as a coolant, and is especially useful for revision centres. They are commonly used to treat these diseases: fever, diarrhea, urinary tract infections, and skin diseases. However, there is a serious threat to the survival of this plant from excessive predisposition, environmental destruction, and raw environmental forestry. This study highlights the important importance of conservation, primarily for the promotion of Tikhur culture and the lasting harvest, so this valuable forest resource will be protected for future generations.
