An ethnobotanical survey was undertaken to collect information from traditional healers on the use of medicinal plants in Jintur, during 2020 to 2021. The knowledge of local peoples and the information of native plants used for medicinal purposes were collected through questionnaire and personal interviews during field trips. The present investigation revealed that, the tribes depend on the native plant for their basic and medicinal needs. The medicinal plants have been receiving great attention worldwide by the researchers because of their safe utility. The plant Linum usitatissimum L. is an annual herb, 60-120 cm high.
