The relative healing potential of each reported medicinal plant used against diseases was also tested using an index of fidelity level (FL), and it was calculated as follows: FL (%) = (Ip/Iu) × 100. Here, Ip is the number of informants who independently cited the importance of a species for treating a particular disease, and Iu is the total number of informants who reported the plant for any disease [19].
