    Introduction

    Hidden in the folds of the Himalayan hills, Lekali Kukurdaino—also known as Smilax aspera, Chopchini, or लेकाली कुकुरदाहिनु—is a lesser-known but highly valued medicinal herb. This climbing plant has been traditionally used in Nepalese households and folk medicine for centuries. Its spiny stems, climbing nature, and medicinal roots make it a unique and versatile plant. Though not often found in your average herbal shop, this herb is a powerhouse when it comes to detoxifying the blood, treating skin conditions, improving digestion, and helping with women’s health issues.

    Smilax aspera is not just another wild plant—it’s an age-old remedy with scientifically backed benefits and traditional wisdom behind its use.

     

    Availability in Nepal and Other Countries

    In Nepal, Lekali Kukurdaino is commonly found in mid-hill to high-hill regions, typically between 1200 to 2500 meters above sea level. It thrives in forested, moist, and semi-shaded areas. The plant is especially common in parts of Gorkha, Dhading, Ramechhap, and surrounding hilly districts.

    Outside Nepal, this herb grows widely across Southern Europe, Northern Africa, West and South Asia, and parts of the Himalayan region in India and Bhutan. In India, it is found in states like Uttarakhand, Himachal Pradesh, and Sikkim, where it's also called Chopchini and is commonly used in Ayurveda.

    Its hardy nature allows it to grow in wild, uncultivated areas, climbing over trees, fences, and rocks, making it a truly rugged mountain plant.

     

    Physical Properties

    Smilax aspera is a woody, thorny climbing plant (vine) that can stretch several meters long. It is well-known for its tough, coiled stems covered with sharp, curved thorns that help it cling to nearby trees and surfaces.

    Some key physical features include:

    • Leaves: Heart-shaped, tough, leathery, and often slightly spiny on the margins.
    • Stems: Long, flexible, and covered with backward-pointing thorns. These can be used as strong sticks.
    • Roots: Thick, tuberous, and aromatic. These are the most medicinal part of the plant.
    • New shoots and leaves: Young, tender shoots are edible and can be cooked like vegetables.
    • Flowers & Fruits: It bears small greenish flowers and dark red to black berries.

    The thorny, coiled structure gives it a wild, untamed look, but hidden within are some incredibly valuable healing properties.

     

    Medicinal Properties

    This plant has a powerful mix of traditional and scientifically observed healing properties. Various parts of the plant—especially the root and bark—are used in powdered form for their medicinal benefits.

    Some of its major medicinal properties include:

    • Blood Purifier (Raktashodhak): Smilax aspera is traditionally used to cleanse the blood and improve overall circulation. This makes it useful in treating skin diseases, acne, eczema, and other toxic build-up conditions.
    • Detoxifying Agent: It helps remove unwanted substances (vishatattwa or ama) from the body.
    • Anti-inflammatory and Pain Relieving (Vednashamak): Its root powder can help reduce joint pain, arthritis, backaches, and general body pain.
    • Useful in Women’s Health: Traditional uses include managing menstrual disorders, leucorrhea, and uterine imbalances.
    • Digestive Aid: Used in treating constipation, indigestion, bloating, and other gut-related issues.
    • Antioxidant: Its compounds help fight free radicals, promoting anti-aging and cellular health.
    • Supports Kidney and Liver Function: Encourages removal of excess fluids and toxins through urine.

    In Ayurvedic medicine, it is sometimes categorized under herbs that balance the vata and kapha doshas.

     

    Advantages

    Here are some of the practical and therapeutic advantages of using Lekali Kukurdaino:

    1. Readily Available in the Wild – It’s common in many hilly forests of Nepal and doesn't need commercial farming.
    2. Multi-purpose Plant – From food (young leaves) to medicine (roots and bark) to utility (walking sticks), it's incredibly versatile.
    3. Low-Cost Herbal Remedy – Easy to harvest and process at home, making it accessible to rural communities.
    4. Long-Term Health Benefits – Helps with chronic illnesses like arthritis, skin problems, and reproductive health issues.
    5. Natural Pain Reliever – Offers a plant-based option for people seeking relief from pain without pharmaceutical drugs.

     

    Uses

    1. Medicinal Powder:

    The dried root and bark are ground into a powder. This powder is taken internally for its blood-cleansing and pain-relieving effects.

    Dosage:

    • ½ teaspoon (approx. 2–3 grams) twice a day with lukewarm water or honey.

    2. Kandha Pani (Stem Water):

    Some people soak the thorny stems in water overnight and drink the strained water as a health tonic. This traditional practice is believed to support kidney function and detoxify the body.

    Dosage:

    • 3–5 times per week.

    3. Vegetable (Leafy Shoots):

    Young shoots and leaves are cooked as a green vegetable, especially in rural areas. It's not only nutritious but also medicinal when consumed regularly.

    Serving size:

    • 200–300 grams of cooked greens, 2–3 times a week.

    4. External Use:

    The paste made from root or bark powder is sometimes used to apply on inflamed areas or skin diseases.

     

    Using Method

    • Root Powder: Mix with warm water or milk, and take on an empty stomach or between meals.
    • Kandha Pani: Soak a cleaned stem overnight, strain, and drink the water next morning.
    • Vegetable Use: Harvest tender shoots, boil or sauté with spices and oil like you would cook spinach or nettle.

    Important Tip: While it's generally safe in small quantities, excessive or incorrect usage may lead to stomach irritation. Always consult with a local herbalist or Ayurvedic practitioner before long-term use.

     

    Harvesting and Preservation

    Harvesting:

    • Roots and stems are usually collected in the post-monsoon or winter season (September to February), when the plant’s medicinal properties are at their peak.
    • Only mature roots (2 years or older) should be harvested for maximum benefit.
    • Young shoots can be collected during the spring and summer months for vegetable use.

    Preservation:

    • The roots are cleaned, sliced, and sun-dried until completely moisture-free.
    • Dried roots should be stored in airtight containers in a cool, dry place.
    • Powdered form should be kept in dark glass jars or tightly sealed pouches to maintain potency.

    Proper drying and storage ensure that the herb remains effective for up to a year or more without losing its strength.

     

    Conclusion

Whether you're struggling with chronic joint pain, skin problems, digestive issues, or simply want to detox your system, this plant offers a natural and holistic solution.
