''Hemidesmus indicus'', Indian sarsaparilla ( Sanskrit: क्षीरिणी Kshirini, कराला Karala,اُشبا Punjabi. Nannari, நறு நெட்டி), is a species of plant that is found in South Asia. It is a slender, laticiferous, twining, sometimes prostrate or semi-erect shrub. Roots are woody and aromatic. The stem is numerous, slender, terete, thickened at the nodes. The leaves are opposite, short-petioled, very variable, elliptic-oblong to linear-lanceolate. The flowers are greenish outside, purplish inside, crowded in sub-sessile axillary cymes. It occurs over the greater part of India, from the upper Gangetic plain eastwards to Assam and in some places in central, western and South India. The root is a substitute for sarsaparilla (the dried root of the tropical species of ''Smilax'', Smilacaceae; in India ''Smilax aspera'' L., and ''Smilax ovalifolia'' Roxb.). It should be distinguished from American Sarsaparilla ''Smilax'' ''aristolochaefolia'' Mill. and Jamaican Sarsaparilla ''Smilax ornata'' Hook.f. (Puri 2003) ==Traditional uses== ''Hemidesmus indicus'' is used to make beverages and also used in traditional medicine. In Ayurveda it goes by the name of ''Ananthamoola'' (अनंत मूल), also known locally as ''Naruneendi'' or ''Nannari'',〔(Ayurvedic Medicinal Plants Naruneendi Nannari )〕 Sanskrit meaning: endless root. It is also known as ''Anant Vel'' (अनंतवेल)/''Maeen Mool'' (माईन मूळ) in Marathi. In southern states of India (particularly Tamil Nadu), Sarsaparilla roots are called ''Maahali'' or ''Mahani Kizhangu'' and in its pickled form is also served along with rice dishes. It is also called the False Sarsaparilla. It is administered in the form of powder, infusion or decoction as syrup. It is one of the Rasayana plants of Ayurveda. It is sometimes confused with another Ayurvedic herb called white ''sariva''. The extracts from the root are used as a coolant and a blood-purifier and also used in many other forms, especially as refreshing syrup with sugar and a dash of lemon (Sharbat), and served at most small refreshment shops in South India.
