The understanding of the ecological wisdom (EW), attributed to the long-resident people of Vindya-Satpura range over many generations have found in the corpus of scientific literatures in respective geographical location. It has estimated the frequent diseases in the region are being treated by the herbs. But we contemplate and we have designed this paper as a contribution to the ‘ecological wisdom’ in both the places covering those aspects, which appear on the surface of tribal life in ‘everyday reality’. Findings showed more than ten most common diseases, namely fever, respiratory, gut, reproductive, hepatitis, inflammatory, ENT & dental, wound & worm, and systemic state of affairs have been treated with both the aerial (aP) and underground part of plant (uP). It serves to invoke collaborators of both (long-residents and urban residents) the side to continually learn from one another how each assumption approaches the body of knowledge of EW and modern science as a longue durée learning procedures to deliver the action plan of UN-SDG 30 to slow down the climate breakdown with the utmost care at the backdrop of WHO’s mandate.
