I am attempting to obtain references in authoritative Ayurvedic texts

(ancient or contemporary) to the herb known botanically as Coleus

forskholii, and in India known as Makandi or Karpushvali. I am advised

that historically it has been used as a treatment for congestive heart

failure and for ashtma, as well as for convulsions and intestinal

cramping. It has aroused attention in the west as a possible treatment

for hypertension, obesity, and hypothyroidism. Any textual references

or citations anyone may provide will be most gratefully appreciated!

Namaste!
