Its tender leaves, flowers and fruits are used for inducing ''vamana'' (emesis). Two types of ''dhamargava'' are found one is ''tikta'' (bitter) and other ''madhura'' (sweet). ''Tikta'' variety is wild and used as ''aushadha'' (medicine). ''Madhura'' variety is used as ''shaka'' (vegetable). [1] Predominant ''mahabhuta'' in ''vamaka'' drugs are ''agni'' and ''vayu''. By its ''ubhaytobhagahara'' (upper and lower) ''prabhava'' it is ''vamaka'' in nature.
