In Marathi it is called as 'Dagadi Paala', It is having wound healing
properties. Vary nice results, We can make creams or ointments from
the juice of the leaves of this plant.Can be used safely to burn
wounds also. It is a traditional medicine of Maharashtra.

Yes it is used to play by children to hit some body with flowers,
holding flower in one hand and hiting by the finger of other hand. It
hits like a bullet. Thats why may be called as Banduk.

Thanks to Nalini ji and Arvind ji as well...for the info on medicinal
importance of Tridax procumbers, and the origin of the name "bandook".
its surprising that such a small weed can also be used as medicine.
wild plants and weeds are indeed wonderful.

This is very strange, but on second thought, I never imagined this
plant as a weed. This is not an invasive either, just grows on the
disturbed areas may be on the edges of crop fields (not even among
crops) and secondly it is known to have great medicinal use....there
is a big list of it. One odd thing that may be irritating are the
seeds, the white hairs which are meant for air dispersal and may not
be good for those who are allergic or have asthmatic problems.
In other countries like US they may be invasive, but not in India as
far as I can see.

I remember one thing from my childhood. People used to say one can eat even
glas with 'Dagadi Paala' and it doesn't hert you. Just rememberd this
another strange thing, while reading Pankaj Kumar jis mail.
