There is one recent patent on this species which claims that if anyone consumes food with fat and then take Cissus based preparations, the fat comes out of body without absorption. This patent is awarded and if it is true then it will establish Cissus as wonder drug.

Such patents have created much interest in this plant worldwide and farmers are keen to grow it for the industry.

In Arunachal Pradesh, people use Pothos scandens for the same purpose.
Here also the structure of the leaves is like bone-joints (another
example of Doctrine of Signature??).
