Botanical Name: Helicteres isora
East-Indian screw tree is a sub-deciduous shrub or small tree with grey coloured bark. The twisted shape of the fruit is what lends most of it names like screw tree and maror phali.
The roots and stem barks are considered to be expectorant, demulcent, astringent and antiglactagogue. Bark is used in diarrhea, dysentery, sacbies, biliousness and is useful in gripping of the bowels.
Root juice is used in antidiarrheal and antidysenteric formulations. Fried pods are given to children to kill intestinal worms.
