There is very limited information regarding plants used by traditional healers and general people in Chittagong division, for treating general ailments and common diseases. Current study provides significant ethnopharmacological information, both qualitative and quantitative on medical plants of this region used for the treatment of gastrointestinal disorders, skin diseases and sexual dysfunction. The survey was carried out in a period of almost 8 months. This survey is conducted among 80 people of three districts of Chittagong division of Bangladesh on various sectors to estimate the knowledge of medicinal plants used in Gastrointestinal tract (GIT) disorder, skin diseases and sexual dysfunction. Open-ended and semi structured questionnaire were used to interview people including traditional healers, Ayurvedic/Unani drug manufacturers and local people. The collected data were analyzed qualitatively and quantitatively. A total of 40 plant species of 20 families were listed for the treatment of gastrointestinal disorders, skin diseases and sexual dysfunction. Leaves were the most cited plant part used against these diseases. Most of the plant species were very common and were cultivated or planted in homestead or roadsides. From the study, we found medicinal plant family Apiaceae 15.79%; Meliaceae, Zingiberaceae and Poaceae 18.18% each; Myrtaceae and Fabaceae 20% each are widely used for GIT disorder, skin diseases and sexual dysfunction respectively. Folklore and tradition medicinal plants are important contributor for various ailments of local communities. It is urgent need for documenting these before such valuable knowledge becomes inaccessible and extinct. Moreover, this study could play an important role for the conservation of these plants and represent the preliminary information required for future phytochemical investigation.

The objective of this study was to preserve the knowledge of these three diseases in this region and also find the newer treatment of these diseases.

2.1 Site selection Three districts of Chittagong division are selected for the study. Information about these districts areNoakhali is a district in South-eastern Bangladesh. It is located (22.83°N 91.10°E) in the Chittagong Division. The district has an area of 3601 km² and is bordered by Comilla district to the north, the Meghna estuary and the Bay of Bengal to the south, Feni and Chittagong districts to the east and Lakshmipur and Bhola district to the west.Feni is a small southeastern district of Bangladesh bordering (clockwise from the north) Tripura in India, Chittagong district, the Bay of Bengal, Noakhali district and Comilla district. Area 928.34 km2 and location (23.0167°N and 91.3917°E).Chittagong District is a district located in the south-eastern region of Bangladesh. It is a part of the Chittagong Division. Area 5,282.98 km2 and location (22.3375°N and 91.8389°E). 

2.2 Sampling informants The ethnobotanical survey was conducted between August 2013 to March 2014. It was planned to cover at least five Kabiraj/Ayurved/hakim/Unani practitioners in each area. The experts in Unani and Ayurvedi Board were also consulted and reputed Hakims and Ayurvedi drug manufacturers namely Hamdard, Ayurvedio Pharmacy, Shakti, Sadhana and Kundeshwari played an important role. Besides local people who had practical or empirical knowledge on medicinal plants had been interviewed. A total of 80 people were interviewed for this purpose. However, gender, age, educational background and experience on use of traditional medicinal plants of inter-viewees were taken into consideration.

2.3 Ethnobotanical data collection The objectives of the study were clearly explained and verbal consent was obtained by interviewer from each informant. Most interviews were arranged by local people familiar with traditional healers and who could communicate with native communities. Open-ended and semi structured questionnaire were used for the purpose. The record questionnaires used included the following information: (a) the local name; (b) plants part/s used; (c) the method of preparation; (d) source of plant material and (e) relative abundance at the area. Data concerning the social profile of the participants such as gender, age, educational background, experience were also recorded. Interviews were conducted using the Bengali language. Informants were asked to collect the plants they used for the treatment of gastrointestinal disorders, skin diseases and sexual dysfunction. These specimens were pressed, preserved and later identified by the Bangladesh National Herbarium, Dhaka (Voucher specimens # 39531, Bangladesh National Herbarium). 

2.4 Data analysis The species were listed in alphabetical order by scientific name, family, local name, general name, plants parts used, mode of preparation, habit, habitat, relative abundance, geographical distribution, nature, general name, solvent used and frequency of citation (FC). The FC of the species of plants being utilized was evaluated using the formula: FC = (Number of times a particular species was mentioned/Total number of times that all species were mentioned) x 100.

Our study reveals that plants are still a major source of medicine for the local communities of most of the portions of our surveyed area, as modern health care facilities are still not sufficient. This report may represent a useful and long-lasting document, which can contribute to preserve knowledge on the use of medicinal plants in this region and also stimulate the interest of future generations on traditional healing practices. The information provided in the paper is limited and there is a scope to initiate further ethnobotanical study among the communities to gather information as far as possible. The medicated claims incorporated in the study need to be evaluated through phytochemical and pharmacological investigations to discover their potentiality as drugs. It is urgent need for documenting these before such valuable knowledge becomes inaccessible and extinct.
