Kuber Kand

Vidhari Khand is a root tuber believed to have adaptogenic properties, meaning it may help the body cope with stress and promote overall wellness. It is also considered a natural aphrodisiac and is often used to improve sexual health and fertility in both men and women.

Ayurvedic physicians have used this plant’s tuberous roots to improve milk production in new mothers due to its galactagogue action. Studies have found that it has strong properties that aid in sperm development — it stimulates the quality and quantity of semen, increases sperm motility, and boosts libido. Its revitalizing and therapeutic properties are comparable to those of Ashwagandha

Key Medicinal Uses

The tuber is sweet in taste and is widely used in Ayurveda for the treatment of fever, menorrhagia, skin diseases, wounds, bronchial asthma, and jaundice. For spermatorrhoea, fresh tuber juice with cumin seeds and sugar has been used therapeutically.

It is used for the treatment of hepatic diseases, discoloration of the skin, fever, improving breast milk production, and as a general tonic to improve body mass.
