Kantkari (Solanum Xantho-carpum) is one of the members of the dasamula (ten root) of the Ayurveda. It is a very spiny diffuse herb up to 1.2 m tall, commonly found throughout India. The juice of berries is used in sore throat. Roots and seeds are administered as an expectorant in asthma and cough and pain in chest. Stem flowers and fruits are bitter and carminative and are prescribed for relief in burning sensation in the feet. Leaves are applied locally to relieve pain. The herb is collected mainly from the wild plants, as there is no systematic cultivation of the herb. They are 3-5cm long and 1.6-6 mm thick, dull grayish in colour with a soft fibrous structure.
