Because its fruit has sharp spines, it is often called the &#8220;puncture vine.&#8221; Gokhru is of two types i.e. Chhota gokhru (Tribulus terrestris) and Bada Gokhru (Pedalium murex L).<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>This little leafy plant belongs to the zygophyllacea family. It has spreading branches with tiny, oval leaves and bright yellow blooms. The plant usually thrives in sunny, dry places. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>You can use the whole plant, roots, leaves, and fruits to make various items like Herbal Powder (Churna), Decoction (Kadha), Oil Infusion, Herbal Tea, Gokshura Capsules or Gokshura Syrup.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Gokhru, also called Gokshura, is accessible throughout India and is said to be a prevalent herb in arid, sandy regions, especially in states like Madhya Pradesh, Uttar Pradesh, Rajasthan, Haryana, and Punjab. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>It thrives in warm-temperature regions, including Africa, southern Europe, southern Asia, and northern Australia.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Gokshura is available in pills, capsules, and powder as a dietary supplement. Hence, it should be consumed only under a doctor\u2019s or healthcare professional\u2019s guidance. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Stores more commonly sell it under the name T<em>ribulus terrestris.
