Anantmool Roots

Anantmool which means 'endless root', has got its name due to its long roots spread way under the ground. This perennial twining plant is found in South Asia and is used throughout India for medicinal purposes as well as beverage. The slender roots of Anantmool are woody and aromatic which smells almost like camphor. The decoction from the roots are mainly used as a coolant or refreshing beverage in many parts of South India by adding sugar and lemon juice to the syrup.
