Veliparuthi
plant also commonly called uthamani in Tamil is called Utran in Hindi
and Trellis-Vine in English. It's a creeper and it's botanical name is
pergularia Daemia. You can easily find this plant in most of the
villages in India and it's found in most of the Asian countries and in
Africa.
This plant is well
known in our village side and we use it extensively in home remedies.
The best way to identify the plant is with it's unique fruits and heart
shaped leaves. Usually it is found along the road side and that is why
it is commonly called veli paruthi. It smells bad when bruised and
stems produce a milky latex when broken. Each and every part of this
plant is used as a medicine including the latex.
It reduces blood sugar
levels, treats jaundice and minor wounds and the best part is extensive
studies have been done to prove the effectiveness of most of it's
medicinal uses. Since it is easily found along road sides, using the
extract for treating insect bites are very common in our place.
You can
also grow this plant in your garden and it needs very little
maintenance. The leaves also can be collected, dried and stored for
future use. An important study on veliparuthi which really excited me
was about it's amazing use in treating poly cystic ovarian syndrome
which affects many women now. The study showed remarkable results when
1ml of fresh veliparuthi leaf juice was administered for 6 consequential
days and the researchers concluded that veliparuthi extract was highly
effective in treating pcos.
One study done on rats proved conclusively
that veliparuthi infusion protects the liver of toxicity. It was also
proven of it's effectiveness in treating toothache and also in a study
done on rats showed significant antihyperglycemic activity (diabetic
control). Velparuthi also showed significant antibacterial and anti
fungal properties and along with it antioxidant properties too, making
it very valuable for treating stress related diseases. Pregnant women
and women who are planning for pregnancy should not consume this herb as
it has anti fertility properties.
