Gonda. Vanapalandu is a medicinal plant which has been used in Ayurveda since ancient times. It is also called wild onion. It appears normal in appearance, but its medicinal properties are considered very special. According to Ayurveda, Vanapalandu is beneficial in many types of diseases and is used in digestive problems like gas, indigestion or stomach ache. This plant is considered very beneficial for such people.

Talking to Local 18, Dr. Abhishek Kumar Mishra, physician of ‘Ramnath Arogyadham’ located in Deendayal Research Institute, Jaiprabha village, said that gall bladder stones have become a common problem at this time. If there is a stone in the gall bladder, it is difficult to treat it without operation. Sometimes these stones can also progress towards liver cancer. There is a stage before gall bladder cancer which is called SIT stage.

Also helpful in cancer
Acharya Charak, Acharya Sushruta and Acharya Vagbhata have explained it as ‘Jaludhar’. In modern medicine, in this condition the patient is given diuretic medicine so that water can be removed from the body. But the combination of Vanapalandu and Haritaki is specifically mentioned in old Ayurvedic texts. Charaka has written: “Jaludhar tu nit virochanam”, i.e. consuming this combination regularly helps in preventing gall bladder stones and the progression of cancer. Dr. Mishra explains that Vanapalandu is an important medicinal plant, which you can grow in a pot or even in the garden. It is considered an effective and natural remedy for Jaludhar.

Let us know about the use of Vanapalandu
Dr. Abhishek Mishra explains that Charak has described the use of Panchmool (including the root below) of this plant. The root of Vanapalandu has onion like structure and in Ayurveda it is also called wild onion.

Gallbladder stones disappear completely
By drying the root of vanapalandu, it is used for many purposes, but generally it can be used by making powder. However, its correct use and quantity should be done only on the advice of a doctor, because it becomes effective on Jaludhar (cheek bladder stone) only when combined with Haritaki. Dr. Mishra says that this combination is very beneficial for those people who have bloated stomach or water accumulation in the stomach, or who already have liver/gal bladder problems. By using Vanapalandu properly with Haritaki and cow urine, a person can get relief from the problem of Jaludhar.
