Documenting traditional medicinal plant species is crucial in Bihar for biodiversity conservation, bioactive chemical extraction, and the preservation of indigenous knowledge. Native populations in Bihar have used a wide array of traditional medicinal plants to treat a variety of human and cattle diseases. The goal of this study was to collect and identify plants used by indigenous peoples for therapeutic purposes, as well as to document information on traditional herbal medicine. Plant sample were collected from Gaya's Brahmayoni hill. Ethnobotanical research of three therapeutic plants from Gaya's Brahmayoni hill, namely Pithecellobium dulce, Ziziphus jujuba, and Gymnema sylvestre, is now underway. The ethnomedicinal herbs that have been described are commonly used for anaemia, eye irritation, antimicrobials, diabetes, arthritis, and other conditions. As a result, proper recording and identification of plant species used, as well as herbal preparation, are necessary to preserve traditional treatment expertise. To avoid extinction, it is recommended that local populations participate in the cultivation of the most regularly used medicinal herbs.
