Pithoragarh. Kilmodi found in the mountains has been used as a miraculous medicine. It is also called Kilmora at many places. This is a special wild plant found in the mountains, which is bushy. It bears small sweet and sour fruits. Generally people know about its fruits, but its roots are also beneficial in many ways. The elders of the mountains still use its roots in home remedies. Kilmodi roots are used by drying them or making decoction. Talking to Local 18, Narendra Singh, an AYUSH expert from Pithoragarh, says that its roots help in reducing swelling, improving digestion and removing weakness.

method of consumption

It is more beneficial for sugar patients. First crush the roots of Kilmodi. Then mix it in warm water and consume it on an empty stomach in the morning. It is considered a panacea to deal with sugar in the mountains. In ancient times, when medicines were not easily available, people used to bring the root of Kilmodi from the forests, boil it and drink it. This provided relief from stomach ache, joint pain and fatigue. Some people also take its root by boiling it with mild spices, which gives strength to the body from within. Due to the hard work of life in the mountains, people depend on such natural plants. Kilmodi root is considered useful in winter, because it helps in keeping the body warm.

According to Narendra Singh, we have been drinking the decoction of Kilmodi root since childhood. Ever since I found out I had diabetes, I started drinking water from the roots of Kilmody. This gave me a lot of relief. In the mountains, Kilmodi is not just a wild plant but is seen as a natural medicine. However, before using any herb, it is important to get correct information and expert advice, so that it can get its true and safe benefits.
