iound throughout India in salt lakes and deep seas. The plant contains 12 p. c, of mannite and iodine. When
dried in the sun it exudes a whitish saccharine substance. A syrup made of this plant combined with decoction of quince seeds is given for the cure of goitre (Bronchocele); also given in scrofulous and syphilitic affections. A simple infusion made by steeping the seaweed in cold water
overnight and taken in the morning on an empty stomach is a remedy for bronchocele. |
