Description
Spiked Ginger Lily has a long history in traditional remedies across South India. People have used it to manage issues like indigestion, vomiting, allergies, cold, cough, and fever. In some regions, they crush the roots to extract juice that helps expel intestinal worms. Some also use the extract to support cancer prevention.
Healers often use the leaf juice to reduce swelling and treat Hansen’s disease. The leaf paste works as a natural poultice to soothe skin problems.
In our village, we always include Spiked Ginger Lily along with white turmeric in homemade bath powders. This blend helps prevent skin infections, supports healthy skin, and leaves the body feeling fresh and fragrant after every bath.
