Abstract	The medicinal plants and formulations of a folk medicinal practitioner practicing in Ichapur village of Jessore district, Bangladesh was documented. The practitioner was observed to use a total of 33 plants distributed into 26 families for treatment of a number of diseases, which included menstrual problems, various types of pain, abscess, pus in ears, rickets, bleeding from external cuts and wounds, tumor in scrotum, gastric and liver disorders, insomnia, sexual disorders, gastrointestinal tract disorders, jaundice, respiratory tract disorders, skin disorders, burning sensations during urination, helminthiasis, burning sensations in chest, and hair loss. This type of rural phytotherapeutic practice gives scientists an opportunity to conduct suitable research on the plant species used and which may in turn lead to discovery of more affordable and efficacious medicines.
