Congratulations for academic contribution. In Jharkhand one of its names popular among the Healers is Motan Jadi (Dinesh ji it is for you) and popularly it is added in Dhawai (Woodfordia) based formulations.
It is also used in Gulbakawali and Maidani Bakuchi based Formulations for herb toxicity. Few weeks back I received its fresh and dry samples from Haridwar from Some Swami ji of National TV for comments. It is not in commercial trade from UP but the herb traders of Saharanpur and other areas claim that they supply it to the Tantriks for Vasikaran Rituals. It is also available with the Faith Healers of Jim Corbett Park region. If interested I can forward the local names of this species in study area. regards Pankaj Oudhia On Fri, May 4, 2012 at 10:17 AM, Dr Pankaj Kumar <sahanipan...@gmail.com>wrote: > Please find one of our recent publications attached with the mail. > Regards > Pankaj > >
