Research suggests that Vidari Kanda, derived from plants including Pueraria tuberosa and Ipomoea mauritiana, has traditional and preliminary scientific support as a galactagogue. Studies indicate that Pueraria tuberosa extract and its constituent puerarin increased milk yield and serum prolactin levels in a rat model, while two additional sources document Ipomoea mauritiana's traditional Ayurvedic use for improving breast milk production. The available evidence consists of one animal study and two descriptive or traditional-use references rather than controlled human clinical trials, which represents a significant limitation in drawing firm conclusions about efficacy in humans. Overall, the research direction is supportive of lactation-related claims, but the absence of robust human trials means the evidence base remains preliminary and exploratory.
