The farmer now uses all that she saw and learned in her childhood. She treats jaundice, asthma, earache, infertility, diarrhea and nausea, migraine, dog bites, cough, etc. Over the years, she has been experimenting and improving her skills. Two incidents in her life strengthened her will to learn and practice traditional medicine. About 15 years ago, her husband had a severe stomach ache which her grandfather and brothers treated; he was back to normal in one month. About ten years ago, her husband fell from a tree and badly injured his hips. At that time, she collected certain plants from the forest, prepared the medicines, and treated him; he recovered quickly and performed tasks normally. Plants for the treatment of various diseases are easily available only because of a forest nearby. Sometimes, plants are to be found only deep in the forest, for which one has to walk at least 4 to 5 km.s. Certain plants are available during the monsoon, which have to be dried and stored for later use. The plant leaves can be stored for two months, and the bark of the trees stored for two years. According to her, certain plants need to be collected in the morning, while others in the evening. Before using a plant, the farmers do some prayers; they do not waste any plant. Farmer says that they could get plants within a radius of 4-5 kilometers earlier, while now they have to go to Mahal, which is 10-12 km away.
