What is Crown Flower (Arka / Madar)?

Crown Flower, botanically known as Calotropis gigantea and locally called Arka or Madar, is a medicinal plant widely recognized in traditional Unani and Ayurvedic medicine. Every part of the plant — roots, bark, leaves, and latex — holds therapeutic value, making it a key ingredient in natural remedies for skin, joints, and immunity.
