Leea Indica or Bandi-coot Berry is a small herbal tree found in many parts of the country. There have been scientific research studies of late on the medicinal properties of Leea Indica and they indicate its antioxidant properties. Thanks to these it is considered a natural medicine for the inhibition or prevention of cancer.
The root and leaves of Leea Indica are used in medicinal formulations. Ayurvedic and Unani doctors also use the plant in their preparations. Herbal practitioners consider it a natural coolant that gives the body a “cooling effect”. During summer it is a natural coolant that quenches the feeling of thirst.
Many tribal communities have been using Leea Indica for the treatment of diarrhoeal diseases. It is also used in cases of chronic dysentery. Other medicinal uses include skin ailments, gastric ulcers, vertigo (a severe form of dizziness) and digestive issues.
