New Delhi, February 18 (IANS). There is very little time left for the month of March to start, but the weather has already started getting hot in the afternoon.
After March, the heat will be at its peak and one has to resort to cold beverages to balance Vata and Pitta, but do you know that the wood apple fruit offered to Lord Shiva is not only good in taste but also has medicinal properties?
In Indian tradition, Bael is not just a fruit or tree, but a confluence of spirituality and Ayurveda. From keeping the body cool in summers to improving digestion, Bael has been used for thousands of years. In Ayurvedic texts it has been described as Deepan, digestive, duodenal destroyer and Balya. Not only the fruit of the vine, but the leaves, bark and root have their own importance, the use of which can be explained by doctors in a better way.
Even if there is any kind of swelling on the body, vine juice will help in providing relief. Bael contains natural antioxidants and antimicrobial elements, which work to reduce inflammation in the body. Along with this, if there is a problem of constipation or stomach burning and ulcer related to digestion, then consuming Bael is also beneficial. Bael helps to cleanse and detoxify the intestines. If you do not like to drink wood apple juice, then wood apple powder is available in the market, the consumption of which will provide relief in the problem of constipation and diarrhea.
Bael also supports blood sugar. The extract of vine leaves supports glucose and metabolism, due to which the amount of sugar in the blood does not increase. However, before consuming the extract of vine leaves, please consult a doctor.
Now let us know how vine juice should be consumed and which people should consume vine juice in limited quantities. To consume wood apple, mash the pulp of wood apple in water with your hands, filter it, mix sugar candy in it and drink it. Bael can be consumed both in the morning and evening.
