Bageshwar: The holy land of Uttarakhand is not only known for natural beauty and calm environment, but the biodiversity here is also full of countless medicinal properties. Traditional medicinal plants found in the forests and mountainous regions here still remain the basis of home remedies for the villagers. One such special plant is a stone -ravine. Which is considered a panacea in removing serious illness like stones.
The plant grows in the foothills of the Himalayas
Local expert from Bageshwar, Kishan Malda, told Local 18 that this plant called Pattharchta grows automatically in Bageshwar and its surrounding areas, Bugyalas and Himalayan foothills. Its name was also there for this reason. Because this plant grows not in the ground, but in rocks and rocky places. Locals collect it as a herb and sell it in the markets. Whereas people with traditional knowledge use it themselves.
People drink a paste of green leaves
Pattharchta is considered extremely beneficial for people suffering from stones. The method of its use is also very easy. It is advisable to make a paste of its green leaves in a glass of water and drink it twice a day in the morning and evening. A decrease in the size of stones can be seen by consuming it regularly to 15 days to a month. Many local people have experienced its positive results and now they have started considering it as an important part of alternative medicine.
Ayurveda experts believe that stonecutta has diuretic and inflammatory properties, which help to remove toxic elements from the body. It not only helps in breaking kidney stones, but also increases the functionality of other body organs. However, it is necessary to seek the advice of an expert before using any medicinal plant.
Now people from outside states have started inquiring about this plant, which has also increased its business possibilities. If the government and the local administration pay attention in this direction, then new doors of self-employment can be opened in the hilly areas through herbs like stone-cutting. Such medicinal plants hidden in the natural treasures of Uttarakhand are still a vibrant example of our traditional medical system, which is the responsibility of all of us to understand and preserve.
