Lajalu (Marathi: लाजाळू) has been identified in ayurveda as Mimosa pudica, which folds itself when touched and spreads its leaves once again after a while.
It is said to have a bitter and astringent taste, and stops bleeding and speeds healing. It is used for diarrhea (athisaara), Amoebic dysentery (raktaatisaara), bleeding piles, gynecological disorders, skin diseases, bronchitis, general weakness and impotence.
Most commonly used part is the root, but leaves, flowers, bark, and fruit can also be implemented.
