Thanks Ritesh ji for information. But it is mere a tip of iceberg. Over 50 herbs are added with root extract in different combinations in order to make the extract more useful and strong. There are specific criteria for selection of these herbs including the root of main ingredient. In other parts of India the Healers practice Traditonal Allelopathic Knowledge to enrich it with medicinal properties before use. The use of root extract is not a general recommnedation. For example, person allergic to Gud (Jaggery) is suggested to avoid this root extract. It acts miraculously in patients with much flesh. The long term use of this root extract results in many harmful effects. It is another long story.
Thanks Vijayashankar ji for nice picture and also for opening a part of my in-built hard disc. regards Pankaj Oudhia On Fri, Sep 10, 2010 at 10:22 AM, Ritesh Choudhary <ritesh....@gmail.com>wrote: > Ethnic people of Upper Siang district of Arunachal Pradesh take the > root extract to dissolve Kidney stones. > > Regards, > Ritesh. > > On Sep 10, 1:44 pm, tanay bose <tanaybos...@gmail.com> wrote: > > Lovely catch of the Campanulaceae member > > Tanay > > > > On Fri, Sep 10, 2010 at 9:44 AM, Vijayasankar <vijay.botan...@gmail.com > >wrote: > > > > > *Pratia nummularia*, a good-looking prostrate herb, from Manipur. > > > > > With regards > > > > > Vijayasankar > > > > -- > > *Tanay Bose* > > Research Assistant & Teaching Assistant. > > Department of Botany. > > University of British Columbia . > > 3529-6270 University Blvd. > > Vancouver, B.C.
