Banyan Relieves Bloat in Animals |
|
|
| Details |
Due to overeating, animals often suffer from bloat. They experience intense abdominal pain and have problem in breathing. To treat this condition Balwantbhai takes ash of two – three kg of banyan (Ficus benghalensis L.) leaves, mixes with 500 ml of groundnut oil and makes a smooth paste. He gives it to the animals twice a day.
Use of Ficus benghalensis for gastric
ailments is well reported (Sanyasi Rao M. L.; Varma, Y. N. R. and Vijaykumar (2008):
Ethno-veterinary Medicinal Plants of the Catchments Area of the River Papagni in the Chittoor and Ananthapur Districts of Andhra Pradesh, India, Ethnobotanical Leaflets, 12: 217-226). |
