| Remarks | The plant is one of the constituents of the herbal antiseptic cream “Herbinol” which is used for the treatment of burns and wounds. Dried rhizomes of the plant constitute the drug Pasanabheda. The name Pasanabheda is attributed to about a dozen plants belonging to different genera, but the drug in the Indian markets mainly consists of two closely related herbs. One is Bergenia ciliata f. ciliata and the other is B. ciliata f. ligulata Yeo. However the two forms are not distinguished for medicinal purposes. | ||||
