Khatumda (Star Gooseberry)

Khatumda- Star gooseberry – Phyllanthus acidus Though star gooseberries do not receive as much attention as amla—the star of the Phyllanthus genus—these fruits may still be considered superfruits for their incredible health benefits.

these fruits are used as a blood purifier and appetite stimulant. They are also used to remedy bronchitis, biliousness, and treat digestive disorders such as urinary concretions, diarrhea, and piles. As is the case with amla, star gooseberry concoctions also act as a liver tonic and blood enrichment remedy. Another concoction includes making a leaf poultice with added pepper to treat sciatica and rheumatism.
