This paper endeavors to explore the intricate tapestry of traditional medical knowledge embedded within the jaunsari tribe of Himalaya, shedding light on the unique traditional medical knowledge passed down through generations. With a focus on the preservation and protection of this invaluable heritage, the study delves into the potential application of Intellectual Property Rights (IPR) as a safeguarding mechanism. Recognizing the vulnerability of traditional medical knowledge to exploitation and erosion, the paper navigates the complex terrain where traditional medical practices intersect with the contemporary legal frameworks of intellectual property. The paper evaluates the applicability and limitations of existing IPR mechanisms in the context of traditional medical knowledge, considering the communal nature of these practices and the necessity for culturally sensitive protection measures. Through case studies and collaborative insights from indigenous communities, the research aims to propose practical recommendations for integrating IPR into the broader framework of safeguarding traditional medical knowledge, fostering a balance that respects cultural heritage, promotes community well-being, and addresses the challenges posed by contemporary global dynamics. The study aspires to contribute to the ongoing discourse on the intersection of traditional wisdom and legal frameworks, advocating for a holistic approach that ensures the sustainability and resilience of Himalayan tribal traditions in the face of modern challenges.
