Arpit Badkul/Damoh: A flower blooms in the rural areas of the country during summer. As enchanting as this flower is, its tree is equally beneficial. In Ayurveda, the entire Palash tree is said to be endowed with Ayurvedic properties. It has been named Brahma Vriksha, in which many types of antimicrobial and astringent properties are found.
Additionally, it contains antioxidant properties, which can be effective in removing skin problems. The infection can be cured by applying paste of Palash flowers on the skin. Not only this, using natural colors prepared from Palash flowers during Holi does not cause skin related problems.
Prepare color by boiling it in water
Ayurvedic doctor Dr. Anurag Ahirwar told Local 18 that Palash is an Ayurvedic tree, whose flowers, fruits, roots and even bark are useful. In earlier times, many physicians used to prepare natural colors by boiling its flowers, which was not only beneficial but also brought glow to the withered skin. There are no side effects of any kind by using it. Powder of the flower can also be used as gulal.
Root for painting houses
The roots of Palash tree are very strong as well as extremely fibrous. For this reason, earlier people used to make brushes from its roots and use it for painting houses. Antibacterial and antifungal properties are found in the roots of Palash, due to which ancient people used to use its roots to whitewash the cooking stove, due to which small insects did not enter the houses.
Effective for kidney, diabetes
Dr. Anurag Ahirwar told Local 18 that apart from the bark of Palash tree, its flowers and fruits are used in the treatment of kidney patients. Only a few selected physicians can use it properly. This tree is also full of medicinal properties which are useful for diabetic patients.
