2003年10月至2004年4月期间，在泰米尔纳德邦Kancheepuram地区进行了一项民族植物学调查，从传统治疗师那里收集关于药用植物使用的信息。在实地考察期间，通过问卷调查和个人访谈收集了当地传统治疗师和用于药用的本地植物的土著知识。调查显示，中医利用41科76属85种植物治疗各种疾病。文献记载的药用植物多用于治疗皮肤病、中毒、胃痛和神经紊乱。在本研究中，大戟科是最占优势的科，叶子最常用于治疗疾病。这项研究表明，在Kancheepuram地区所研究的部分地区，许多人仍然继续依赖药用植物，至少是为了初级保健的治疗。传统治疗师的数量正在减少，由于年轻一代对继承这一传统不感兴趣，传统知识很快就会消失，这是一个严重的危险。
An ethnobotanical survey was undertaken to collect information from traditional healers on the use of medicinal plants in Kancheepuram district of Tamil Nadu during October 2003 to April 2004. The indigenous knowledge of local traditional healers and the native plants used for medicinal purposes were collected through questionnaire and personal interviews during field trips. The investigation revealed that, the traditional healers used 85 species of plants distributed in 76 genera belonging to 41 families to treat various diseases. The documented medicinal plants were mostly used to cure skin diseases, poison bites, stomachache and nervous disorders. In this study the most dominant family was Euphorbiaceae and leaves were most frequently used for the treatment of diseases. This study showed that many people in the studied parts of Kancheepuram district still continue to depend on medicinal plants at least for the treatment of primary healthcare. The traditional healers are dwindling in number and there is a grave danger of traditional knowledge disappearing soon since the younger generation is not interested to carry on this tradition.
