Scientific Summary

Picrorhiza kurroa is a perennial herb whose thick rhizome (called kutaki in Hindi) is harvested for medicinal use. It is primarily used as a liver tonic and cholagogue to support liver function and aid in bile flow, and it is sometimes included as an adjunct in treatments for infections, digestive disorders, and fatigue. The herb is generally well tolerated, but it may cause mild gastrointestinal upset in some people, and those who are pregnant, breastfeeding, or taking medications for liver disease should consult a healthcare professional before use.
