Patharchatta is also known as Pashanbheda in Sanskrit, where "Pashan" denotes stone and "bheda" denotes breaking. Patharchatta is therefore helpful for urinary diseases such as kidney stones. The leaves of Kalanchoe pinnata are astringent, antiseptic, and reduce bacterial infection.
Botanical description
It is a small plant growing to a height of 1-4 ft. The leaves are thick, fleshy, and round or oval in shape. The flowers are greenish-purple in colour, and the seeds are round and slimy. New growth is seen from the edges of the leaves, which act as propagules. It does not grow from seeds but propagates from the leaves of the plant. A single leaf can produce 5-10 new plants.
