Hadsankal Churna from Riddhish Herbals is the whole-plant powder of Hadsankal — Asthishrinkala, Cissus quadrangularis (veldt grape), the same herb also called Hadjod. In Ayurveda it is Kashaya (astringent) and Ushna (warming), Vata-settling, and classically described as Balya (strength-giving) and Asthisandhanaka (bone-uniting) — long associated with the Asthi dhatu (bone tissue). It is used within a physician-guided routine. Each pack is genuine, bill-provided material from a doctor-guided store operating since 2015.

About Hadsankal Churna (Asthishrinkala)
Hadsankal — Asthishrinkala, Cissus quadrangularis — is a square-stemmed climbing herb known in Sanskrit as Asthishrinkala and Vajravalli, and in everyday use as Hadjod. Hadsankal and Hadjod are simply two common names for the very same plant. This churna is the milled whole plant.
Riddhish Herbals supplies it as a clean single-material Hadsankal powder under our doctor-guided selection standard, with a bill on every order. Its warming, astringent, Vata-settling nature has long made it a herb for strength and stability, used within a physician-guided routine. (See also our Hadjod Churna — the same herb.)
Traditional Ayurvedic Importance
Classical texts describe Hadsankal (Asthishrinkala) as Kashaya (astringent) in Rasa, Laghu and Ruksha in Guna, Ushna in Virya, with a Vatahara (Vata-settling), Balya (strength-giving) and Asthisandhanaka (bone-uniting) character. Its Sanskrit names all point to its classical place in supporting the Asthi dhatu (bone tissue).
Because of this classical association, Hadsankal is traditionally taken as a churna with a suitable anupana (warm milk or water) within a physician-guided routine, with the amount chosen by a Vaidya to suit each person.
