🩺 🌿 Medicinal Importance of Nagarmotha Plant
Nagarmotha is widely used in Ayurveda for the treatment of various diseases.
The tubers of this plant are powdered. This powder is cooked in coconut oil and used for application on skin diseases. The powder is also used directly for rubbing on the skin.
The tubers are crushed and boiled in water. After cooling, this water is used for drinking purposes.
Use for Digestive System
Nagarmotha is useful in conditions such as diarrhea, frequent loose motions, intestinal worms, bloating, indigestion, loose stools, and sticky stools.
Being a digestive and appetite-stimulating herb, it improves appetite, absorbs excessive moisture in stools, aids digestion, and regulates intestinal function.
Remedy for Indigestion and Sticky Stools
If food is not digested properly or sticky stools occur,
take 3 grams of Nagarmotha powder mixed with 1 teaspoon of ginger juice.
This should be consumed twice daily, in the morning and evening, after breakfast and meals.
Consuming this remedy for 10 to 15 days improves digestive function.
For Destruction of Intestinal Worms
In case of intestinal worms, jaggery should be eaten first followed by drinking water.
After 15 minutes, take 5 grams of Nagarmotha powder.
Due to jaggery, the worms come upward in the stomach, and taking Nagarmotha afterward destroys them.
This remedy should be followed once daily for 5 consecutive days.
Strength-Enhancing Properties
Since Nagarmotha aids digestion, it is considered a strength-enhancing medicinal plant.
