Changalamparanda, also known as Aristolochia indica, is a plant that belongs to the Aristolochiaceae family. It is commonly found in various regions of India and has traditional uses in Ayurvedic medicine.

While it has medicinal uses, it’s important to note that certain species in the Aristolochia genus contain toxic compounds that can have adverse effects on health, including potential nephrotoxicity (kidney toxicity). Therefore, any medicinal use should be approached with caution, ideally under the guidance of a qualified health professional.
