Gokshura is a low-growing flowering plant with small yellow flowers. Although native to the Old World, it has become naturalised throughout the rest of the world in warm climates, and can thrive in desserts and other poor growing conditions. It grows as an annual in colder climates. It is used as a diuretic and to treat disorders of the genitourinary system. Gokshura has been shown in some animal studies to increase levels of testosterone.
