Description

Originating from the tropical regions of Africa and Asia, including India, Zahar Mora is characterized by its fleshy, leafless stems and a thick, milky white sap. In traditional pharmacological practices, this latex is the primary active component, prized for its intense purgative and irritant qualities. Topically, it is applied to treat stubborn warts, corn, and various skin lesions, acting as a biological cauterizing agent. It is also utilized in folk medicine to reduce joint swelling and manage chronic inflammation through controlled external application.

The plant contains complex diterpenes and resins that provide antimicrobial and anti-inflammatory benefits. However, because the sap is highly caustic and can cause severe irritation to the eyes and mucous membranes, it is strictly used under expert supervision. The therapeutic value of Zahar Mora lies in its ability to stimulate the body’s healing response through controlled irritation, making it a specialized tool for dermatological issues and detoxification. Its application exemplifies the traditional medicinal approach of transforming a poisonous plant into a curative remedy through precise dosage and preparation.
