| Title |
Herbal cure for indigestion |
|
|
| Details |
Animals often suffer from indigestion due to eating of raw paddy grains. This is followed by a loss of appetite. To cure this, Mr Saroj Kumar Biswal takes 100 gm of baking soda (Sodium bicarbonate), dried ginger powder (50gm), powder of “Juani” (Carum copticum L.) and common salt (50 gm). He mixes these together in half a litre of lukewarm water and feeds it to the animal. This treatment is given once a day for seven to eight days. Mr Biswal has treated 20 cases of indigestion with success following this method.
Calcium antagonists in Carum copticum are believed to account for its antispasmodic and hepatop-rotective activities.
