The purpose of the research paper is to highlight the regional variation of various herbal medicines in Jammu and Kashmir and also highlight presence of some valuable herbs in Jammu and Kashmir. Jammu and Kashmir is a treasure trove of medicinal plants due to favorable and diverse agro-climatic zones. A number of locally grown herbs like Kuth, Zeera, Patees, Morin, Kreech, Kutki and many more have been used for medicinal purposes since times immemorial. Most of these species were abundantly found in the forests of the area. Major objective of this research paper is to explore the potential in medicinal herbal growth, available resources, to understand the challenges and opportunities within the medicinal plant sector. This review reveals that Jammu and Kashmir harbors a rich diversity of valuable medicinal plants and attempts are being made at different levels for sustainable utilization of this resource in order to develop the medicinal plant sector.
