Rishikesh. Kilomoda, a herb that grows naturally in the high mountains of Uttarakhand, is now becoming increasingly popular among health lovers. It has been used in traditional Ayurveda for centuries and even in modern times, people have started adopting it due to its medicinal properties. Local people also call it “mountain medicine” because this herb is full of freshness and natural nutrition of the mountains.

In a conversation with Local 18, Dr. Rajkumar, an AYUSH doctor from Rishikesh, says that the main feature of Kilomoda is its root. Soak it in water overnight and drink it on an empty stomach in the morning. By doing this it benefits many body parts and diseases. First of all it helps in keeping blood pressure (BP) balanced. High blood pressure patients can benefit from its regular consumption. This herb is also effective in the problem of uric acid. By controlling uric acid levels, it reduces swelling and pain in joints.

Kilomoda is not limited to only BP and uric acid. It is also used to strengthen the digestive system and provide relief from stomach related problems like constipation, gas or indigestion. According to Ayurveda, this herb also removes toxic elements from the body, which strengthens the immune system and makes the body capable of fighting common diseases. Many people drink it in the morning on an empty stomach and feel light and full of energy throughout the day.

Panacea for every age

Local people use Kilomoda according to their tradition and it is grown naturally. One reason for the popularity of Kilomoda is that it can be easily used by people of all ages. However, it is important to know the correct way and quantity of its consumption, so that the health benefits are maximum and any kind of side effects can be avoided.
