Name: Shank Pushpi

Other Names: Convolvulus pluricaulis, satavari, Tephrosia purpurea

Description: Shankhapushpi or scientifically known as Convolvulus pluricaulis. It is used in the Indian medicine system known as Ayurveda. According to this system Shankhapushpi is an indigenous plant which is mainly advocated for use in mental stimulation and rejuvenation therapy. Shankhapushpi is used to treat various disorders related to nervous weakness, problems like insomnia, mental as well as physical fatigue, loss of memory etc. Primarily shankhapushpi is used as a brain tonic. Although, very little human research has been published in the Western medical literature regarding this plant, but recently test are being done to prove its efficacy. One study shows shankhpushpi to have anti ulcer effects due to augmentation of mucosal defensive factors like mucin secretion and glycoproteins. Another study showed that shankhapushpi may be helpful in improving symptoms of hyperthyroidism by reducing the activity of a liver enzyme. The plant is reported to be a prominent memory improving drug. It is used as a psychostimulant and tranquilizer. It is reported to reduce mental tension. The ethanolic extract of the plant reduces total serum cholesterol, triglycerides, phospholipids and nonesterfied fatty-acid.
