Performing comparative analysis revealed that herbal formulations (91% were MHFs and 9% were PHFs) were used for treating human diseases like jaundice (20%), rhematoid arthritis (16%) and respiratory diseases (13%) with around 37% preparation in paste or powdered form while 32% correspond to liquid form or juice. Majority of them are being administered orally (78%) and topically (22%). Around 8% of these plants belong to Lamiaceae family followed by Fabaceae (7%) and Asteraceae (5%) while leaves (35%), bark/roots (10%) and whole plant (8%) were mostly used. Successful pre-clinical and clinical trials involving these formulations for treating respective disorder will lead to patenting and commercialization in turn causing benefit sharing with the community.</abstract>
