aid weight loss: The roots of Kalimunti are typically dried and powdered.
A dose of 3-5 grams is taken with water to help reduce body fat and
improve digestion.

with other herbs or medicines to treat conditions such as digestive
disorders, inflammation, or pain. It is sometimes consumed with water or
other herbal mixtures for its therapeutic effects.

medicinal properties are preserved. The plant is typically harvested during its
flowering season, which is when the concentration of bioactive compounds is
highest. The leaves, stems, and roots are the most commonly harvested parts of
the plant.
- Leaves
and Stems: These are typically harvested by hand, ensuring that the
plant is not damaged excessively. Care should be taken not to
over-harvest, as this could deplete local plant populations. Once
harvested, the leaves can be used fresh or dried for later use.
- Roots:
The roots of Kalimunti are dug up carefully, avoiding damage to the
surrounding plant network. Once harvested, the roots should be cleaned and
dried in the shade to prevent the loss of their medicinal properties.

numerous medicinal, practical, and ecological benefits. From its ability to
stop bleeding and treat infections to its use as an eco-friendly fuel source,
this plant is a valuable asset in both traditional medicine and sustainable
living. The herb’s astringent, antibacterial, anti-inflammatory, and analgesic
properties make it useful in the treatment of various ailments, both for humans
and livestock. Furthermore, its role in local practices like weight loss and
fuel production underscores its importance in rural Nepalese communities.
In conclusion, Kalimunti serves as an excellent example of
how local plants can provide natural solutions to both health and practical
issues. While more scientific research may be necessary to fully understand the
extent of its properties and applications, its longstanding use in traditional
practices highlights its significance in the lives of many people. The
