Value of Gukhrú in Certain Forms of Seminal Discharges and Incontinance of Urine

Willl/E preparing a list of remedies alleged to be useful in the treatment of seminal discharges and impotence, I found Gokhru described in Vaidak and Hekmat works as possessed of very important attributes. Thus, when speaking of the juice of the fresh leaves and stalks, the author of " Maklizun-ulAdviat" states that " it augments the quantity of semen and removes weakness of the generative organs." Gram seeds twice soaked in its juice are considered to be unparallelled in .their effect in curing seminal weakness. The seeds, it is mentioned, resemble in their action thar, of the juice. Bhao Tarkash (a Yaidak work on Materia Medica) entirely supports this assertion.
