Emerging and Advance field in Ethnobotany in the form database bioinformatics considered as a transition bridge to connect Botany with medicine nanotechnology. Chapter more eventually describes about Indigenous Plant Knowledge of the Irulas: A Pathway to Sustainable Dental Care. More metabolites that are functional are potential secretors of extracellular enzymes thus considered to potential producers of metal nanoparticles and nanostructure by reducing enzymes intracellularly or extracellularly useful for medicinal world hidden treasure lies in the form of knowledge inside globe of Ethnobotany.
