Hello,

Welcome to icliniq.com.

Argyrea speciosa (vriddhadaru) has been used traditionally for treating several diseases like gonorrhea, syphilis, diabetes, to improve fertility rate, etc. It is a valuable part of leaves, roots, and seeds. Leaves can be heated and directly applied over pustules for promoting healing, seeds Nina be powdered and given in the form of cold infusions or devotions. One tablespoon of decoction with one tablespoon of water one hour before food twice daily is administered. Although for these conditions still more effective drugs are available like blood purifiers, those can be administered too.

I hope this helps.

Thank you.
