About Hemidesmus

Hemidesmus (Hemidesmus indicus), also known as Indian Sarsaparilla or Anantamul, is a climbing shrub traditionally used in Ayurvedic herbal medicine. This preparation uses the root of the plant as a 1:2 liquid extract.

Despite the common name Indian Sarsaparilla, Hemidesmus indicus is botanically different from true sarsaparillas belonging to the genus Smilax.
