Karvy (Strobilanthes callosus) is a perennial herb with a fleshy taproot that is harvested and dried for medicinal use. It is primarily employed to relieve diarrhea, soothe gastrointestinal inflammation, and support skin health, traditionally made into an infusion or decoction. Because the root contains compounds that can affect liver enzymes, people with liver disease, pregnant or nursing women, or those taking other medications should exercise caution and consult a healthcare professional before use.
