Such use of plants varies from one region to another and is measured using quantitative techniques.

Materials and Methods: Field trips were done to 20 location of lower Kurram and information regarding medicinal use of plants was collected from the locals through semi-structured interviews. Results: A total of 52 plant species that were reported by the people from the region, to have medicinal value, fall within 48 genera and 35 families. The family Asteraceae comprised most of these herbs (6 species) followed by the family Lamiaceae (4 species) and Solanaceae (3 species). Leaves (24. 3%) and fruits (21. 6%) were the frequently used parts in preparation of remedies. The reported plants were used for treatment of 50 ailments with most of these plants (35 species; 30. 97%) being used for treatment of digestive problems. Seriphidium kurramensis had the highest relative frequency of citation (66. 18) and use value (1. 10). Fidelity level of Caralluma tuberculata and Artemisia scoparia for diabetes was (61. 22) and (55. 56), respectively. The highest fidelity level for malaria was reported for Artemisia absinthium (43. 66) and S. kurramensis (40. 00).
