Health Benefits of Desi Ber: Sirohi’s Desi Ber is a powerhouse of Vitamin-C and antioxidants, which is called Rajasthani Sev. It is an effective Ayurvedic medicine in increasing immunity, improving digestion and healing skin wounds.
Health Benefits of Desi Ber: In the dry land of Rajasthan and the hilly areas of Sirohi, a wild fruit is found which the local people call ‘Rajasthani Sev’. We are talking about local plums, which start ripening on the bushes in the winter season. According to retired District Ayurveda Officer Dr. Damodar Prasad Chaturvedi, this fruit is not only delicious but is also rich in important nutrients like protein, Vitamin C, B12 and antioxidants.
Boon for immunity and digestion
Dr. Chaturvedi says that plum contains more Vitamin C than orange, which gives a tremendous boost to the body’s immunity. Due to the high amount of fiber in it, it strengthens the digestive system and provides relief from problems like constipation. Apart from this, it also plays an active role in keeping the heart healthy.
Removes sleep and anxiety
Along with the plum fruit, its seeds also have medicinal properties. Plum pits are used in traditional medicine to induce sleep and reduce anxiety. The sedative properties present in it are considered helpful in keeping the mind calm and sharpening the memory. Consumption of plum also proves beneficial in the problem of headache.
Skin and wound treatment
Plum has been used for skin related problems for centuries. In case of skin cuts, burns or wounds, its use is effective in healing the wounds quickly. The antioxidants present in it help in making the skin glowing and preventing wrinkles. According to Ayurveda, feeding its leaves to animals also increases their milk production. However, people suffering from serious illness or allergy should consume it only after consulting the doctor.
