Indian fumitory is a delicate, much-branched annual herb of the poppy family, found from West Asia across the Indian subcontinent, often as a winter weed in wheat fields of northern India. It has finely divided grey-green leaves and small pinkish-white flowers with darker tips.
It is considered the authentic source of Parpata, a bitter, cooling herb in Ayurveda, used in traditional preparations for skin clarity and general wellbeing, often in summer. The whole plant is the part used.
