Dear Madhavi,
ReplyDeleteGot to know about your blog through Indiblogger. Really appreciate the efforts you are taking to spread the knowledge you have gained.
Where is this plant usually found. Do we need to uproot the whole plant to get the juice from the whole plant or just to use the leaf juice. Is this available in Ayurvedic store. If so pls let me know - KAMATH
ReplyDeleteThe plant is found in wastelands and along roads in India-It is very common.It is spiny looking and bears yellow flowers.the entire plant is uprooted and used.You may include or exclude the root but the entire plant is used for making the oil.You can also refer this link for further help in identification

The leaf juice is not available in Ayurvedic stores-as far as I know.
Thanks for this great article…
ReplyDeleteI have researched on so many herbal plants found in the Nepal Himalaya for a long time by which I have also found so many species of such medicinal plants like Satyanishi. It is also called sano kanthakari in Nepal. Obviously, this plant is very important in Ayurveda treatment system. This plant is found naturally in Nepal on the banks of the rivers and roads as well. Thanks to all.
