Hoya carnosa - Wax Plant

Hoya carnosa - Wax Plant
Family: Asclepiadaceae
NMPB India, mentioned Hoya Carnosa in its medicinal plants of India master list. But I didn't find this plant entry in The Ayurvedic Pharmacopoeia of India,  Siddha Pharmacopoeia of India,  or Unani Pharmacopoeia of India. Other names are "Krinkle Kurl" or Hindu Rope. This beautiful flowering plant seems to be popular as ornamental plant rather than medicinal plant.
