Thanks for this valuable information Thousands of Hata Jadi are present in cash lockers of rich Indians due to (Blind) faith that it will increase their wealth without any effort. Its collection is banned but still it is available easily with Tantriks. May be they are using another similar looking rhizomes. What are they? Any idea.
Through Andh Sharaddha Nirmulan Samitee in Chhattisgarh we are awaring common people to avoid using such herbs and help in conservation of rare species. As herb vendors from Himalayas are coming since generations to Chhattisgarh, the Healers have much knowledge about Himalayan herbs. The use of Dacytlorhiza as Aphrodisiac is also creating problem. Our population has reached to crores but still we are eager to use such herbs. Many E-books are available through my homepage but there is never ending demand of E-book on Extra-ordinary sexual performances. :) By the way your explaination about Dactly reminds be of Dactyloctenium grass. regards Pankaj Oudhia On Wed, Sep 29, 2010 at 4:18 AM, Pankaj Kumar <[email protected]>wrote: > Dactylorhiza hatagirea (D.Don) Soó, Nom.
