Plants are vast natural sources significant organic and inorganic ethnomedicinal metabolic components that are free from side effects and are being used as probes and remedious agents since ancient times for local remedies. This paper documents the randomly sampled data of roots, leaves, seeds as well as whole plants of 31 ethnomedicinal plants of almost 21 families majorly Apiaceae, Fabaceae, Moraceae, Solanaceae and Rhamnaceae family used by local medicine men by conducting their unstructured interviews including open ended questions relevant to flora of Wazirabad, District Gujranwala, Punjab, Pakistan. This random sampling of different families of plants in particular climatic conditions can attract the phytochemists towards this area for opening scientific mysteries of this flora. The people of the Wazirabad have also been interviewed regarding effectiveness of remedious properties of these plants that have been using them from long time which revealed their prolonged dependence upon these local plants for their prime health problems. The confidence on medicine based over these plants is associated with their traditional beliefs.
