Gorakhmundi Powder - Sphaeranthus Indicus - East Indian Globe Thistle

What is Gorakhmundi:
Gorakhmundi is a species of flowering plant in the family Asteraceae, native to temperate regions of the Northern Hemisphere. It has a long history of use as a medicinal herb, and its leaves are used for making brooms and brushes.

Gorakhmundi grows best in dry climates and is often found near cliffs or along riverbanks. The plant is tall, with stems up to 2 meters tall; the lower part of each stem branches into many individual twigs and small leaves. The leaves are usually ovate in shape and pointed at the tips, though they can be roundish or lanceolate in shape. In late summer, white flowers appear on short stalks above leafless bracts at the top of each branch; these are followed by red fruits.

The name of this plant comes from its flowers which are white like stars on a dark night sky; hence it was named after stars which resemble stars because they are bright at night but they are not visible during day time.

Asteraceae is a family of flowering plants that contains over 10,000 species. It is sometimes referred to as the daisy family, since it contains many small blooms.

The most famous member of Asteraceae is Gourd (Lagenaria siceraria). Gourds are a symbol of strength, perseverance and endurance, and are often used in Hindu ceremonies. The plant also has many medicinal uses: it can be used for treating constipation, gout and rheumatism.
