Vidari Kand के अन्य भाषाओं में नाम
परिचय
Vidari, or Vidarikanda (Pueraria tuberosa), is the Indian kudzu — a large woody climber with a heavy starchy tuber that can weigh several kilograms. The tuber is sweet, cool and moistening.
Ayurveda classes it as a Brimhana and Vrishya drug: one that builds tissue and restores strength after depletion. It appears in the Jivaniya and Balya groups and in the classical Vajikarana and lactation formulae.
वर्गीकरण
Family Fabaceae. The tuberous root is the officinal part. Rasa: Madhura. Guna: Guru, Snigdha. Virya: Sheeta. Vipaka: Madhura. Doshaghnata: pacifies Vata and Pitta; may increase Kapha.
उपयोग एवं लाभ
Given in emaciation, convalescence and general debility, and where dryness and heat have depleted the tissues. Classically a Stanyajanana drug, promoting breast milk, and a Vrishya drug used in the Vajikarana compounds. In this catalogue it appears in Mahamash Tel and Laxmivilas Ras as the nourishing counterweight to sharper ingredients.
Vidari as a Brimhana drug
Sweet, heavy and cooling, it is used to rebuild after illness, fever or overwork, particularly where the patient is thin, dry and hot.
Vidari for lactation and vigour
Classical texts list it among the Stanyajanana drugs and in the Vajikarana group; both uses rest on the same nourishing, moistening quality.
