The ancient Ayurvedic Samhita mention two varieties of musali viz. white and black. The word musali, alone, denotes the white variety, which is commonly used. The white variety is called as Safeda Musali and the black one is known as Kali Musali, in national language Hindi. Though the black variety is supposed to be superior in properties, both the varieties have, more or less, similar properties and used, hence, both are described together. The rhizomes of white musali have great medicinal value. The fine powder of rhizomes cooked in milk, is given along with ghee, rock candy, cardamom, almond, cloves and tvak as a sex tonic. It is used as an aphrodisiac as well as to increase sperm count.
