They are the "faculty" keepers of the cumulative knowledge of generations; they utilize various household treatments for different diseases. There is an urgent need to identify, explore and document this unique knowledge and make efforts to trace their valuable knowledge otherwise it will be lost soon and not to be regained in future at any cost.
