New Delhi, April 18 (IANS). Nowadays, busy and irregular daily routine has become a big threat to liver health. Fried food from outside, irregular eating habits, stress and carelessness harm the liver. World Liver Day is celebrated every year on 19 April to bring awareness among the people. In Ayurveda, Neem has been described as a ‘protective shield’ for the liver.
The bitterness of Neem may bother you, but it is extremely effective in detoxifying and strengthening the liver. Neem is called ‘Amrit’ in Ayurveda and is considered a natural remedy that acts as a protective shield for the liver. Neem not only keeps the liver healthy but also prevents many other diseases.
It has been used in Ayurveda for centuries. All parts of Neem, leaves, flowers, twigs and fruits are extremely beneficial. Neem leaves are perfect in detoxifying the liver. Chewing 5-7 neem leaves daily or drinking their juice removes toxic substances accumulated in the liver. Due to this, the functioning of the liver runs smoothly, the digestive system becomes stronger and new energy is infused in the body. Problems like fatigue and laziness also go away.
Neem has other health benefits too. It also helps in controlling bad cholesterol. The antioxidant and anti-inflammatory properties present in it clear the dirt accumulated in the arteries. This reduces the risk of heart diseases and improves blood circulation. Neem is also a panacea for skin problems. For people suffering from acne, blemishes and pimples, applying paste of neem leaves on the face or drinking neem juice is very beneficial. An element called Azadirachtin present in Neem kills bacteria and keeps the skin clean. Washing face daily with neem water improves the skin.
Neem can be easily included in your daily routine. Neem leaves can be boiled and decoction can be consumed. In summer, sherbet or bhujiya made from neem flowers is also healthy. Consuming Neem on an empty stomach in the morning detoxifies the entire body. It is beneficial in every season, winter, summer and rainy season.
Experts say that by adopting herbs like Neem, we can strengthen the liver and prevent many diseases. The bitterness of Neem may seem bitter, but it gives sweet results for health. It is cheap, safe and completely natural treatment. However, before starting the consumption of any Ayurvedic herb, one must consult an Ayurvedic doctor.
