The Dhaka Times Desk Many of us neglect the leaves of trees and plants. These plants benefit us in many ways. One such disease is Asthma in which Acacia leaves are more effective than drugs.
People of rural Bengal use akanda leaves for asthma and respiratory diseases. According to Ayurvedarya Sivakali Bhattracharya, the square in the middle of the 14 Akanda flowers should be taken. Along with that, 21 chilies should be mixed together to make 21 pills. Taking 1 pill with water every morning relieves asthma. While taking this medicine only milk and rice should be consumed as food. It relieves shortness of breath.
Asthma is alleviated by drying and crushing the bark of the root of Akanda tree, wrapping it with Akanda gum and making it like a beedi.
Apart from asthma, other properties of Akanda leaves:
# In addition to asthma, Akanda leaves as a medicine help in acne breakouts. If you squeeze the pimple with akanda leaf and tie it, the pimple will burst.
# leaves are used to reduce the burning sensation caused by tick bites.
