Mohammed Bin Abu Bakr Al-Qayyim quoted three Hadiths in relation to Hindba.

·        East Kasni and do not shake its leaves because no day is passed without showering on it the water of paradise.

·        One who ate Kasni and slept, the poison and evil spirit would not affect him.

·        None of the leaves of Kasni is there--which has not been showered by the paradise water drops.

Kasni is of two kinds Wild, and Cultivated. In Unani, the cultivated variety is called as Bustani, Hindba e Shami-o-Hashmi-o-Balaqhi, and wild variety is called as Dashti, Hindba e Baqhal, and Tarakhshaqaq.

Both the varieties bear broad leaves near stem, and thin leaves above. Cultivated variety is relatively more cold, and moist.

According to Unani System of Medicine it removes the visceral, hepatic, and vascular obstruction. It is a good but not very strong astringent. It is used as plaster in case of gout.

The latex of the wild variety removes opacity of the cornea. Purging cassia is dissolved in its juice, and used as gargle in pharyngitis. It relieves nausea, and counteracts the ill effects of excessive yellow bile, it strengthens the heart.
