chlorophytum borivilianum

Chlorophytum borivilianum is a herbaceous plant native to India, widely known as safed musli. Its tuberous roots are used in traditional medicine, especially in Ayurveda, primarily as a health tonic, adaptogen, and revitalizer. The herb is traditionally recognized for its aphrodisiac, immunomodulatory, antidiabetic, and anti-inflammatory effects. Root extracts are rich in saponins, alkaloids, polysaccharides, and antioxidant compounds. It is commonly used to improve sexual dysfunction, diabetes management, infections, and general health. While used extensively in dietary supplements, robust clinical evidence for therapeutic human use is limited.
