What Is the English Name of Nalleru? - #11759

I recently came across the herb Nalleru, which is commonly used in traditional medicine in South India. I’ve heard that it has many health benefits, especially for bone health, joint pain, and digestion. But I couldn’t find much information about it in English. Can someone tell me—what is the correct English name of Nalleru? From what I’ve read, Nalleru is a type of creeping plant with thorny stems. Some sources mention that it is the same as Cissus quadrangularis, also known as Hadjod in Hindi. Is this correct, or is there another plant with the same regional name? One of the reasons I am interested in Nalleru is that it is said to be good for bone fractures and joint pain. Apparently, it helps in faster healing of broken bones and strengthening bones. Does this mean it can be taken as a supplement for osteoporosis or weak bones? What is the best way to consume it—should it be eaten raw, made into juice, or taken in powdered form? I also saw that Nalleru is used for digestion and weight loss. Some people say drinking its juice helps with metabolism and gut health. Has anyone tried it for this purpose? How effective is it, and how should it be prepared? Another thing I came across is that Nalleru is used for treating ulcers and internal inflammation. Since I sometimes suffer from acidity, I want to know if Nalleru juice or powder can help in reducing acidity and stomach-related problems. If anyone has used it for digestive health, please share your experience. Lastly, are there any side effects or precautions to keep in mind while taking Nalleru? Since it’s a medicinal herb, can it be taken daily, or should it only be consumed in moderation? Also, is it safe for pregnant women and elderly people? If anyone knows the English name of Nalleru and has experience using it for health benefits, please share your insights! I’d love to know how to include it in my routine.
