A survey was conducted among medicinal plant sellers, healers, priests and local people in the rural population of Bhat, India. In this rural community medicinal plants are used for regulating fertility. Due to the fact that the majority of the Bhat community is illiterate, oral interviews were held in the villages. The information was then recorded. Plant samples were collected and preserved for future reference. Information on 28 plants and 11 recipes for doses from 2 or more vegetable species are presented, and popular names, empirical properties, and manner of using recipes are described. More than 90% of the information gathered was consistent among the informants, but some of the informants differed in their reports on the way to use the same plants. There is no certainty as to which of the plants are effective. Since the Bhat community has frequently observed the positive effects of their preparations, they have much faith in their recipes. The acceptability of these preparations is quite high among 95% of the Bhat population.

Bhat社区用来调节生育力的植物。

在印度巴特的农村人口中，对药用植物销售商，治疗师，牧师和当地人进行了调查。在这个农村社区，药用植物被用来调节生育能力。由于大多数Bhat社区都是文盲，因此在村庄中进行了口头采访。然后记录该信息。收集植物样品并保存以备将来参考。介绍了有关28种植物和11种食谱的信息，其中包括来自2种或更多蔬菜的剂量，并描述了流行名称，经验特性和食谱的使用方式。收集到的信息中有90％以上是信息提供者之间一致的信息，但有些信息提供者在使用相同植物的方式方面的报告有所不同。不确定哪种植物有效。由于Bhat社区经常观察到其准备工作的积极作用，因此他们对自己的食谱非常有信心。在95％的Bhat人群中，这些制剂的可接受性很高。
