Herbs of Mountains (Northern Pakistan), The Hindukush Ranges.

 

 
This is image of a herb natively called Kakol, this herb grows on same roots every year and its quantity increases its own seeds as well.
this is very special herb for the people of northern Pakistan, when ever people go up to the high mountainous areas for different purposes and they get thirst and don't have any sources of water nearby then they search for this herb.
they chew it if its hard any grown old and if its young and fresh people eat it its juicy full of sour water, thus the thirst of water is overcome and people manage to survive for long time without water and food.
people use to bring it down to valleys for their families as a gift from mountains.

 This is Ishpar , Known with same name in Ghizer and Chitral, Khowar language. It is very much similar to Kalol but its not the same.
This too IS used as alternative of water by mountaineers/ shepherds of these areas, some people like this herb very much.
