What Is the Kannada Name of Karisalankanni? - #11764
I recently came across the herb Karisalankanni, which is known for its amazing health benefits, especially for liver health, hair growth, and skin care. However, I couldn’t find its correct Kannada name. Can someone tell me—what is the Kannada name of Karisalankanni? From what I have read, Karisalankanni is widely used in Siddha and Ayurveda. In Tamil, it is known as Karisalankanni Keerai, and in Hindi, it is called Bhringraj. But is it the same in Kannada, or does it have a different regional name? One of the main reasons I am interested in this herb is its liver-protecting properties. Some people say that Karisalankanni juice is excellent for detoxifying the liver and treating conditions like fatty liver and jaundice. How is it traditionally used in Kannada households for liver health? I also heard that Karisalankanni is highly beneficial for hair growth. It is often used in Bhringraj oil, which is known for preventing hair fall, premature greying, and dandruff. Does anyone in Karnataka use this herb for hair care? Should it be applied as fresh leaf paste, or is it better to use oil made from it? Another thing I am curious about is whether Karisalankanni is good for skin problems. Some people say that applying its juice or paste can help with eczema, rashes, and acne. Has anyone used it for skin care, and how effective was it? Lastly, are there any Kannada traditional dishes or herbal remedies that include Karisalankanni? I heard that in some South Indian regions, it is eaten as a green leafy vegetable. Does it have any specific way of preparation in Karnataka cuisine? If anyone knows the Kannada name of Karisalankanni and how it is commonly used in Karnataka, please share your insights! I’d love to learn more about this powerful herb.
