Description	For ages, the Himalayan mountain range of the Tibetan Plateau has harboured a unique diversity of endemic medicinal flora, establishing the region as a major hotspot of ethnobotanical biodiversity. The numbers, analysis, and documentation of traditional Himalayan plants have increased rapidly in recent decades, but a lot of work is still in progress. In high-altitude regions, the local medicinal practitioners are the prime conservers of medicinal plants, and their main work of preparing herbal formulations and identifying related therapeutic uses depends solely on ancestral knowledge gained since the Vedic period. Out of the main list, several Himalayan medicinal plants such as Achillea wilhelmsii, Caesalpinia bonducella, Jatropha curcas, Picrorhiza scrophulariiflora, Plantago asiatica, Panax ginseng, Sophora subprostrata, Morus alba, Withania somnifera, and Tinospora cordifolia are well known for their importance in stimulating immunity. Therefore, the present chapter is an attempt for highlighting the history, composition of local herbal formulations, and ethnopharmacology of Himalayan medicinal plants for enhancing human immune systems.
