Appendicitis a well known intestinal disease now a days is caused by appendicular infection and inflammation. In modern allopathic system there is no perfect treatment of this disease except appendectomy. However, this disease is completely cured by the Bhil tribals of Jhalawar district (South-East Rajasthan), by the local application of plant paste of Ocimum americanum L. (Lamiaceae) on patient's abdomen. No further abdominal surgery of the patient is required in this particular mode of treatment. It is expected that after further researches this plant might prove a great source of safe, cheap and effective drug for the cure of appendicitis and will be a great asset for the welfare of human society.
