Description:
Hadjod, known as Bone Setter, is a traditional plant widely recognized in India for its exceptional ability to heal bones. Its scientific name is Cissus quadrangularis, and it belongs to the grape family as a perennial climbing plant. This herb has gained fame in traditional medicine due to its rich antioxidant profile, which includes phenols, tannins, carotenoids, and Vitamin C. These compounds play a significant role in fortifying bones and promoting musculoskeletal wellness.
In Ayurveda, drinking Hadjod juice with cow’s ghee or milk is believed to accelerate the healing process of bone fractures, thanks to its bone-union enhancing properties. In addition to supporting bone health, Hadjod boosts metabolism and helps in managing weight by preventing fat and lipid buildup in the body. It also contributes to cardiovascular health by lowering triglyceride levels.
The astringent and wound-healing characteristics of Hadjod make it beneficial for topical applications. When its paste is applied to wounds, it can alleviate pain and inflammation due to its analgesic and anti-inflammatory properties. Furthermore, the plant has antimicrobial effects that help prevent infections, promoting quicker recovery. However, overconsumption may result in side effects such as dry mouth, headaches, and diarrhea, so it is advisable to consult a healthcare professional.
