It is sold in Vaidya stores. They can tell. I have verified that they are used.

 

Gen info :-

 

The couries are sub class of Xacus pyrum. They are 100%pure CaCo3. The material is rubbed and the non hygrosopic dust is used. In others it is burnt and the hygroscopic powder is used.

Cowries are till date sold in Orissa.

They are used in vary many rituals and also as ingradient for herbal medicine. Normally they measure around 1-1.5 Cms, are white and brown spotted, beautiful design. Right now one can get it near Lingaraj and Puri temples in numerous shops and temporary vendors.

 

All most all haats and big traditional markets have at least one dealer, who sale Cowries (cowdi).

Cowrie was used as a legal tender in Orissa even in 1866, during the Great Famine, East India Co. days.

I feel that the seals found in these sites must be the tokens of exchange, the money, with which they have paid the suppliers of commodities.

could be.

Ca when injested becomes CaOH which is a base = Natural antacid. Same as in Pan and CaOH (chuna-lime). Indians in general take one pan after food, slows down swift chemical digestion and related cascade of problems.

 

Cowrie slime/powder is also anti-helminth (worms).

 

Does SANKHA BATI OF ZANDU says that it contains Cowrie ?
