Description About Indian Costus Root Extract(Radix Aucklandiae Extract)
Costus is a genus of perennial tropical herbaceous plants from the costus family (Costaceae). They are often characterized and distinguished from relatives such as Zingiber (true ginger) by their spiraling stems. The genus as a whole is thus often called spiral gingers, but this can also refer to C. barbatus specifically.
The plant’s root is harvested and dried for use in herbal remedies, but the rest of the plant is used for a variety of substances. In Asia, Costus Root Extract is used by the food industry to flavor sweets and soft drinks, and as an ingredient in perfumes, shampoos and hair dyes.
Costus root extract can be used to relieve pain by promoting the flow of qi, and to improve digestion by reinforcing the spleen function.
Costus root extract helps relieve epigastric distension. Costus root extract is also used to treat the abdominal pain, diarrhea, and tenesmus by nourishing the spleen and removing stasis in stomach and intestines.
