Leptadenia Reticulata is a plant that belongs to the milkweed family (Asclepiadaceae), which is cultivated in several tropical and subtropical regions and is mainly used in traditional Ayurvedic medicine. This liana is also known as Jivanti, which in Sanskrit means 'she who gives life'. In Hindi it is called Dodi and in Kannada it is known as Hamsapadi. In India, its native region, various medicinal preparations are made from it.
Products made from Leptadenia Reticulata are considered as tonics that promote physical well-being and vitality. They are also used to treat eye diseases, promote the production of breast milk and are effective in treating infertility. This plant also strengthens the immune system. Jivanti is also often added to drinks as it is a great source of nutrients and vitamins. Apart from medicinal uses, it is also used in cosmetics. Jivanti has strong moisturizing properties and is therefore the main ingredient in many skin creams and masks. In Ayurvedic cosmetics, its antioxidant properties are also used to reduce the signs of skin aging.
