Why does nobody talk about Lodhra anymore? 😭

Okay this has been stuck in my head for days.
I was reading about old Indian beauty rituals and one ingredient kept showing up over and over again: **Lodhra**.
The weird part?
I searched YouTube... almost nothing.
Instagram... almost nothing.
Pinterest... barely anything.
Meanwhile everyone's talking about centella, snail mucin, rice water, peptides, etc.
So now I'm genuinely confused.
Did Lodhra actually do something for the skin and we just forgot about it?
Or did people stop using it because it wasn't that effective?
I feel like there are so many Indian skincare ingredients that just... disappeared from the conversation.
Has anyone here actually used Lodhra? Or know why it's barely discussed anymore?
I feel like I'm missing part of the story.
