⁴ Al Idrisi says the real tabáshir is extracted from the root of the reed called sharki. Sarki is Gujarati for reed. It is generally applied to the reeds growing on river banks used by the poor for thatching their cottages. Tabáshir is a drug obtained from the pith of the bamboo and prescribed by Indian physicians as a cooling drink good for fever.
