The relationship between man and plants is as old as humanity. There would have been no civilization without proper utilization of plants by man. Right from the Palaeolithic period to the present time man shared a very close relationship with plants. This paper attempts to study the various ways in which plants are related to the life of the Bodos of Bahupara, Assam, and the use of native plants in food, medicine, household items, in religious practices, etc. With the passage of time, it has been noticed that changes regarding conservation of forest resources and dwindling of forest areas have influenced the villagers and have changed their mode of lifestyle to a certain extent. However, with growing demand for organic products, the villagers need to be encouraged to harness the products of nature more effectively for a sustainable living and make this world a better place to live in.
