This review fully covers the pharmacology, pharmacognosy, and therapeutic applications of O. turpethum. Nishoth Safed has been the subject of a few preclinical investigations, which have demonstrated its anti-inflammatory, anticancer, cytotoxic, antisecretor, ulcer-protective, hepatoprotective, and antibacterial properties. Its crude root powder has been shown in certain preliminary clinical tests to have laxative, anti-inflammatory, analgesic, anti-helminthes, and anti-arthritic properties. Further study of the Nishoth white herb is necessary since it may provide a source of potential anticancer and anti-rheumatic agents (s). Operculina turpethum is a plant that requires immediate attention in order to prevent extinction.
In Ayurveda, Nishot safed has been classified as one of the "ten purgative herbs" (Bhedaniya Mahakashaya), "ten antidote herbs" (Vishaghna Mahakashaya), "ten herbs supportive for therapeutic enema" (Ashthapanopag Mahakashaya), "colon cleanser, antitumor and antidote herbs" (Shyamadi Gana), and (Adhobhagahar Gana). 6 As a therapeutic purgative agent for the treatment of GI disorders, skin disorders, ascites, and various cancers, the root bark of Nishoth white is typically administered in powder form with a variety of anupans (vehicles), such as fermented rice water (Kanji), milk, cereal water, Triphala, black pepper, sugarcane juice, cow's urine, goat's urine, sheep's urine, etc.
Nishoth Safed Advantages
Actually, Nishoth Safed is a mild laxative rather than a purgative. The Nishoth Safed plant contains purgative, antipyretic, expectorant, anthelmintic, and anti-inflammatory effects.
It is a moderator for Pitta and Vata. Nishoth Safed is used as a laxative since it improves peristaltic motions in the body. Its heated potency makes it operate as an anti-inflammatory. Nishoth Safed aids in maintaining a healthy body temperature as well.

Okay, noted, but what does that have to do with a Marvel movie? Well, let's put two and two together: There's a Royal Oak in Eternals, and it's worn by Kingo. Now I am not the first to notice this haute horology connection. I must give props to a friend of mine in the industry, Mr. Zach Blass over on Time + Tide. However, I put on my All The President's Men journalism cap and dug a little deeper into the backstory of this watch and how it came to be, so unexpectedly, in this film.
After some study and thought, I committed myself to a simple design: using a three-quarter plate layout, with the entire going train placed underneath one bridge and a separate bridge for the balance. The ratchet click would be changed from the instantly recognizable 6497 base format to one inspired by a 1920s-era E. Howard & Co. pocket watch that had belonged to my namesake, my great-great-grandfather.
Recognize the other white gold watch? We reviewed the 25th Anniversary Speedmaster Professional Chronometer from 1994 in white gold here. There is also a nice <a href="http://git.churiland.com/qadirx2010" >link</a> vintage Omega Seamaster 300 in this picture. The black watch is a Seiko, model unknown to me.
Considering that 90% of the general population use their right hand over their left for a lot of other things besides writing, even when the fountain pen gave way to the ballpoint, it still made more sense for righties to be lefties when it comes to wearing a watch. (There continued to be right-wrist watch wearers, of course; astronaut Michael Collins, Command Module pilot for Apollo 11, was a southpaw, and always wore his watch on his right wrist).
