Puliyarila (Oxalis corniculata), an Indian ayurvedic herb is used for ayurvedic medicines. It has properties like diuretic and refrigerant. It isused treating disorders of liver and digestive problems. This has got the power to prevent certain cancerous growth. The leaf pulp is applied over insect bites and burns. It has also got antibacterial properties. This plant is also known as yellow sorrel.
During my childhood, my mother used to make " moru" with this and used to give us for our stomach related problems. It is grown wild where there is water always especially under the coconut tree, garden area etc. It has got small yellow flowers and the fruit looks like bhindi. If you touch the fruit when it is fully grown with wet hand, it breaks and the seeds are spread all over. The taste is sour like tamarind.
