Kutki grows in alpine Himalayan
regions at high altitudes in moist, rocky
soils. It is native to Uttarakhand &
Himachal Pradesh. It is highly valued in
classical Ayurveda.
Kutki is mainly used as
a hepatoprotective herb. It is prescribed
for jaundice, hepatitis, fatty liver and
liver enlargement. It also acts as a mild
laxative and digestive stimulant.
Modern studies support its role in liver
enzyme regulation and detoxification.
