A good scalp and hair tonic. A constituent of many commercial preparations of Hair oils.During my childhood it was commonly found around in our area in Pune.My mother used to crush its leaves to produce a paste for application on the head. But I am searching this for last few years in Pune but couldn't locate it on open areas.
