परिचय
Vidhara (Argyreia speciosa), the elephant creeper, is a large climber with broad silvery-backed leaves and purple trumpet flowers. Its root is the drug.
Ayurveda classes it as a Vrishya and Balya Rasayana, used in Vata disorders with weakness and in the Vajikarana group. It is warming and strengthening rather than cooling and nourishing.
वर्गीकरण

Vidhara for Vata and the joints
Warming and strengthening, it is used where joint pain comes with weakness rather than heat, and appears in the classical Vata formulations.
Vidhara as a Vajikarana drug
