    Hemidesmus is a herb that is widely used in Ayurvedic medicine. It can be used alone or in combination with other herbal remedies to treat issues relating to the skin, kidneys, and digestion as well as the respiratory system, immune systems, joints, and digestive system.

    Hemidesmus Indicus has other names: Hemidesmus Indicus can also be called Sveta Saiva or Ananthamoola, which is Ayurvedic for “endless roots”. Hemidesmus is also known as Indian sarsaparilla. Other names include Naruneendi. Nannari. Haaluballi. Kapoori. Kshirini. Anant Vel. Maeen Mool. The roots of this plant are similar to those of Sarsaparilla. It is therefore also known as the false sarsaparilla.

    What does the Hemidesmus Indicus resemble

    Hemidesmus is a perennial vine that trails along the ground and climbs using tendrils that grow in pairs on the petioles from alternate, orbicular, to ovate evergreen leaves. The tuberous rootstock can reach up to three meters. The flower has 5 petals that are purple on the inside and green on the outside. The stem and branches are laticiferous and elongated. They are narrow and there. Their color is deep purple or brown. The roots have a camphor-like smell and are woody. The plant is known as Kapoori. The plant is found on the slopes of sub-ravines, and twines on trees and shrubs.
