A well-known ayurvedic medicine, safed musli is rich in alkaloids, vitamins, minerals, proteins, carbohydrate, steroids and polysaccharides. The global demand for Safed Musli has been increasing steadily, making it an expensive plant.

A good quality of dry musli fetches a price ranging from Rs. 1200 to 1800 per kg. in the local market and about Rs. 3000 per kg. in the international market. Therefore Safed Musli is called a Golden Crop.
