The large starchy tubers are the principal medicinal part, valued for their sweet taste and cooling effect. It holds a significant place in traditional systems of medicine, especially Ayurveda, where it is regarded as a Rasayana drug known for its rejuvenating, nourishing, and strengthening properties. Traditionally, Vidarikand has been employed in the management of general debility, infertility, lactation insufficiency, respiratory ailments, and urinary disorders.
