    In India, it has been used for malaria, when combined with the seeds of divi-divi (Guilandina bonducella).

    In manufacturing, chirata is used in alcoholic and non-alcoholic beverages.

    The extract of the plant mixed with water is really bitter but its really helpful in fighting different skin diseases and stomach/liver problems. It really adds on to your immunity.
