Chanothi (Red Gunja)

Chanothi (Abrus precatorius), also known as Red Gunja or Rosary Pea, is a plant native to tropical regions.

Its bright red seeds are used decoratively and in traditional medicine, but they contain abrin, a potent toxin that poses serious health risks.

While historically used for various ailments, the high toxicity of the seeds means they should be handled with extreme caution and used only under professional medical guidance.
