Abstract	The Gond tribe, one of the most prominent and populous tribal groups in India, is particularly concentrated in various regions of Chhattisgarh. Known for their rich cultural heritage, the Gonds have preserved ancient traditions, including their folk medicine and healing practices. This study focuses on documenting the ethnomedicinal knowledge of Gond women from different regions of Chhattisgarh—specifically Bilaspur, Gariyaband, Korba, and Saraipali—who utilize a wide array of plant species to treat gynecological disorders. A total of 31 plant species, integral to their traditional healthcare system, were identified and recorded. Information regarding the medicinal uses of these plants was obtained through personal interviews with local women and supported by existing literature. The study provides a detailed account of these plants, including their botanical names, families, local names, the parts of the plant used, and their specific medicinal applications.
