  http://www.sidhhaherbs.blogspot.com    அத்தி மரம்

Roxburgh fig (Ficus auriculata)



அத்திப்பழம் மற்றும் அதிலிருந்து கிடைக்கும் பல பொருட்கள் மருந்தாக பயன்படுகிறது. அத்திப் பழங்களில் 80.8 சதம் நீர், 17 சதம் மாவு பொருட்கள், 13 சதம் புரதம், 0.2 சதம் கொழுப்பு 0.6 சதம் இரும்பு சத்து, 600 மி. கி. புரோட்டீன் போன்ற சத்துக்கள் அடங்கியுள்ளன. அத்திப்பழங்களின் அமைப்பு, உருவம், தோலின் நிறம் மற்றும் சதைப்பற்று போன்றவை சீதோஷ்ண நிலைக்கு ஏற்ப மாறுபடுகின்றன. பழங்கள் முதிர்ச்சியடையும் தருணத்தில் வறட்சியான கால நிலை இருந்தல் நல்லது.
      அத்தி மரத்தில் பூக்கும் பூவானது மனிதர்களின் பார்வைக்கு தென்படுவதற்கு முன்பாகவே அதில் மகரந்த சேர்க்கை ஏற்பட்டு காய் உருவாகி விடுகிறது. எனவே, அத்திமரத்திற்கு பூ கிடையாது என்ற எண்ணம் தோன்றியது. அதனால், ”அத்தி பூத்தார் போல் ”என்ற பழமொழியும் தோன்றியது.
