------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
This is one the most widely used plant in the Indian Ayurvedic system of medicine. Various parts of the plant especially the roots had been extensively used for thousands of years in the Indian traditional medicine formulations such as Dashamoola, Chyanprasha, Haritakia, Ayushyavardhaak Taila and Narayana Taila.
Among the various medicinal uses reported for the roots are for treating diabetes, chyluria,
gonorrhoea, inflammation, swelling, bronchitis, dyspepsia, headache, liver disorder, piles, constipation and fever. Some pharmacological studies have revealed that the plant also possesess anti-coagulant, anti-inflammatory and anti-arthritic properties. Recent laboratory research has been undertaken into the possible cardiac stimulant activity of its bark and wood extracts.
Carl Linnaeus named this plant in 1771 based on a specimen whose leaves were somewhat serrated, and that explains his choice of the specific epithet ‘serratifolia’ for a species that generally has smooth-edged leaves.
This particular species is also encountered in the literature as Premna integrifolia and Premna corymbosa (Bangladesh).
This is a small tree or shrub that grows along the coasts and islands of tropical and subtropical Asia, Africa, Australia and the Pacific.
