Yellow-green mistletoe wrapped around the trees of Vindhya region of Madhya Pradesh is easily visible. It may appear to be a parasitic plant, but it is considered very important in Ayurveda. It is considered an auspicious plant in rural areas and has been used in home remedies for generations. Its nature is considered hot. Therefore, after using it, a slight warmth is felt in the body. Amarbel draws the power of the tree on which it climbs, which is why it is considered very powerful.
While giving information to Local 18, AYUSH medical expert Dr. Saurabh Parouha said that Amarbel is most commonly used in hair care. Many people make oil or paste from it and apply it directly on the hair. This strengthens hair, reduces breakage and provides relief from dandruff. Many people also claim that hair growth increases with regular use. Amarbel paste is considered very helpful in case of dry scalp in winter.
Dr. Parouha explains that Amarbel is not limited to hair only, but it is also traditionally used in problems related to stomach, liver and stress. Its decoction is consumed or it is advised to use 5 to 10 grams of powder in the morning and evening. It is considered helpful in improving digestion, healthy liver and mental peace. Many people also say that it is effective in stress, anxiety and restlessness.
Amarbel is considered an immunity booster in traditional medicine. People who fall ill repeatedly due to change in weather have been drinking its decoction. It purifies the blood, brings freshness to the body and also provides relief from joint pain. Some people also say it is beneficial in cold and cough. Many families in rural areas use Amarbel as a home medicine during the changing seasons.
Consuming it without advice may prove costly
Although Amarbel is natural, but Doctor Saurabh Parouha warned that it should not be consumed without knowledge. Those who already have any disease, pregnant women or people taking regular medicines should definitely consult a doctor before using it.
