Rotula aquatica is a rare species of aromatic flowering shrub native to India. It is a member of the lotic ecosystem of streams and is an important traditional medicine for kidney and bladder stones. Root decoctions are used to treat bladder stones and sexually transmitted diseases. The plant is also used to treat coughs, heart diseases, dysuria, blood disorders, fever, poisonings, ulcers and uterine diseases. A study has shown that a protocol consisting of ex vitro rooting, commercial sugar, and tap water, can be economically advantageous for exploiting the medicinal properties of the plant.
