It is  native to India Sri Lanka, southwest China and Indochina, and tropical countries.  It belongs to the Moraceae  Buddhist legend tells of Gouthama Buddha attained Enlightenment  (Nganam) while meditating underneath the Bodhi Tree ,  Ficus religiosa. The site is in present day Bodh Gaya, northern India. The Bodhi tree and the Sri Maha Bodhi propagated from it are notable specimens of Sacred Fig. The known planting date of the latter, 288 B.C.E.  gives it the oldest verified age for any flowering  Mulberry trees.

It shed its leaves in the month of March and April. The fruits of the Peepal are hidden with the figs. The figs are ripening in the month of May.

Thuthuvelai one of the kaaya kalpa plant plays an important part in neutralizing our 3 thoshas such as Vaatha -Pithaa-Kabha. 

By in taking this herb as chutney in our food or as rasam -Indian soup or by whatever means it does good to your body. 

It regulates your blood flow and vitalizes your lazy body.Gives an energetic feeling after fever or any viral sickness.

Purple Fruited Pea Eggplant is a thorny creeper with bluish violet flower, more commonly available in Southern India has been used traditionally in Siddha system of medicines to treat various diseases. This species is globally distributed.
Some times back each Indian reserved this plant and made use of it. Now a days it is rare to get. 
My father planted it as a beautifying creeper in front of our house. With the small fruits hanging like small grapes , the color was attractive. But at that age i used to play with the fruits.
 When making a paste as thuvaiyal  or Indian soup the bitterness cannot be felt. 
 In one  study, aqueous methanol and n-butanol extracts of aerial parts of Solanum trilobatum L.
(Solanaceae) were tested for antimicrobial activity by disc diffusion method. From the results, it was
found that extracts from leaves, flowers, stem and fruits revealed antimicrobial activity against Gram (+)
and Gram (-) bacteria. Maximal antibacterial activity was seen against Klebsiella with aqueous extract
whereas methanol extract of stem showed maximal activity against Staphylococcus aureus. The
Minimum Inhibitory Concentration (MIC) exhibited by S. trilobatum aqueous extracts against tested
organisms ranged between 0.06-0.5 mg/ml. Presence of tannins, saponins, flavanoides, phenolic
compounds, cardiac glycosides and carbohydrates indicates S. trilobatum, is one of the potential
medicinal plant for therapeutic use.

http://www.sidhhaherbs.blogspot.com
Graviola- Annona muricata 
சீத்தா பழம்  
Kills cancer cells. Relieves depression

அன்பர்களே பழங்கள் கிடைக்கும் காலங்களில் அப்பழங்களை வாங்கிச்சாப்பிட்டு பலன் அடைவீர்

 In Malaysia we can see these trees  in  kampongs  (villages) 

Annona muricata is a member of the family of Custard apple trees called Annonaceae and a species of the genus Annona known mostly for its edible fruits Anona. Annona muricata produces fruits that are usually called Soursop due to its slightly acidic taste when ripe
So this triggers our billious system and causes a slight dizziness if eaten abundantly.
 Gastric patients are not advised to eat a lot.

 A. muricata trees grew natively in the Caribbean and Central America but are now widely cultivated and in some areas, escaping and living on their own in tropical climates .The Soursop (Annona muricata) is a broadleaf, flowering, evergreen tree native to Mexico, Cuba, Central America, the Caribbean and northern South America: Colombia, Brazil, Peru, and Venezuela. Soursop is also native to sub-Saharan African countries that lie within the tropics. Today, it is also grown in some areas of Southeast Asia. It was most likely brought from Mexico to the Philippines by Other common names include: guanábana (Spanish), graviola (Portuguese), Brazilian pawpaw, guyabano, corossolier, guanavana, toge-banreisi, durian benggala, nangka blanda, sirsak, and nangka londa. [2] In Malayalam, it is called mullaatha , literally thorny custard apple. The other lesser known Indian names are shul-ram-fal and hanuman fal. In Sri Lankan mythology, Lord Rama and his disciple Hanuman are believed to have consumed this fruit on their way to Lanka.way of the Manila-oughout the world.

In Mexico and Colombia, it is a common fruit, often used for dessert as the only ingredient, or as an agua fresca beverage; in Colombia, it is a fruit for juices, mixed with milk

.Graviola has been found in in vitro studies to have anti cancer potential. In Guadeloupe the fruit is eaten regularly and there is concern that consumption of this fruit on a regular basis for years and decades can lead to a Parkinsonian-like syndrome  

Our ancestors have already written in palm leaves that taking  too much of Seetha  Fruit often causes  imbalance of brain  . It is not recommended to eat a lot.   But when you get it please do eat some!

 Ice cream and fruit bars made of soursop are also very popular. The seeds are normally left in the preparation, and removed while consuming.

Soursop is also a common ingredient for making fresh fruit juices that are sold by street food vendors. In the Philippines, it is called guyabano, obviously derived from the Spanish guanabana, and is eaten ripe, or used to make juices, smoothies, or ice cream. Sometimes, they use the leaf in tenderizing meat. In Vietnam, this fruit is called mãng cầu Xiêm in the south, or mãng cầu in the north, and is used to make smoothies, or eaten as is. In Cambodia, this fruit is called tearb barung, literally "western custard-apple fruit." In Malaysia, it is known in Malay as durian belanda and in East Malaysia, specifically among the Dusun people of Sabah, it is locally known as lampun. Popularly, it is eaten raw when it ripens. Usually the fruits are taken from the tree when they mature and left to ripen in a dark corner, whereby they will be eaten when they are fully ripe. It has a white flower with a very pleasing scent, especially in the morning. Thanks to Wiki              (15)

www.malaysianherbals.com (13) Morinda citrifolia- Noni fruit நுணா மரம்

 http://www.sidhhaherbs.blogspot.com

 NONA  FRUIT         Morinda citrifolia                        நுணா




Hello! My friends! I am here to share with you some new ideas. We all know this Nona or Noni or Nuna in Tamil. This tree is well grown in Malaysia. We can see in most of our Malay friend's houses. They seem to use it everyday, with out knowing the full effect of the fruit. 
Let me tell you some more things i have gathered. Please do use in your house needs and get the benefit of it.





 Noni fruit comes from South-East Asia, but because of its recent boom, it’s traveled around the world to Hawaii, India, the Pacific Islands, and French Polynesia, among other places that it can survive and thrive. It’s spread around the world and frequently eaten in other places, but as a fresh fruit, it lacks popularity for a couple of reasons: it’s a tropical mystery, and because it’s so stinky. Yes, this fruit has gotten a nickname as the “cheese fruit” because of it’s pungent odor. The taste could be similarly described, which is why it’s often masked with other fruit juices.
The biggest question when decided if something is a superfood or not is the obvious: What benefits can you get from noni juice? In short, almost everything, but let’s expound. Noni fruits have many components to boost the body. Polysaccharides and antioxidants help the immune system and act as an anti-bacterial and reduce the risk of cancer in the body by destroying the free radicals. Research also shows that noni lowers cholesterol by inhibiting the creation of it in the first place. A chemical in the juice–scopoletin–also binds to receptors in the body that is linked to blood pressure, keeping it safe and low.
As with genies, however, super foods have drawbacks and limitations. The high concentration of vitamins can be harmful to certain people. Those with hyperkalemia ( High pottasium)should monitor their intake of noni for the levels of potassium. People on blood pressure medicine in general should consult their doctors before going on any sort of diet with noni juice, as the natural chemicals may inhibit or alter the affect of the medicine.
Parts of the noni plant are used as a juice, a tonic, a poultice, and in tea. The juice, which has an unpleasant taste and odor, is used on the scalp as a treatment for head lice. Some proponents also advise drinking the juice, mixed with other juices and flavorings to mask its unpleasant taste. The leaves and bark are sometimes made into a liquid tonic for urinary complaints and muscle or joint pain. The unripe noni fruit is mashed together with salt and applied on cuts and broken bones. Ripe fruit is used as a poultice for facial blemishes or as a remedy for skin sores, boils, or infections. Tea made from leaves of the plant is used as a remedy for tuberculosis, arthritis, rheumatism, and as an anti-aging treatment.

www.malaysianherbals.com (12) KARPURA VALLI கற்பூர வள்ளி

COLEUS AMBONICUS
 KARPURA VALLI  கற்பூரவள்ளி


Good morning everybody ! Today i am bound to talk about our children's phlagm.  We are Malaysians. We must be out of being sick at the early stages because we are living in a fertile greenery covered country. Our air is not polluted yet. So our children must be healthy. If they are not then we are not following our fore fathers ways. Right?

Where were we slacked? O.k. I will tell you. Are we bathing our children daily head to foot. Oh no . You are admitting the truth. You are scared that they will get flu? Do not mistake me. We are living in a tropical country. Our bodies are hot. We must bathe from head to feet everyday.; not just lub our body  or bathe till the neck. It is wrong to do since this will make your head your  heated up.

Well if your child is given cooling oils such as  Agasthiar Kannai Ennai and daily bath with Agasthiar Neer Korvai Oil or  Agasthiar  Herbal Oil then your child's body is being cooled down. Only heaty bodies tend to get sick.

கற்பூர வள்ளிச் செடியின் அற்புதங்கள் பல உள்ளன. அப்படியே 2 அல்லது 3 இலைகளை மென்று சாப்பிட்டு வரலாம். அல்லது 4,5 இலைகளைச் சாறு எடுத்துக்குடிக்கலாம்.

Coleus Ambonicus or Karpuravalli is a plant to be grown in every house where there are children and Asthmatic patients. We recommend for infants to give  a small dosage of the juice after oil bath  as prescribed  by the physician. You may give this juice with a medicine. This is mainly used to treat cough and cold. It is an antibacterial and anti tubercular. It posses muscle relaxant actions.This increases absorption of nutrients. The leaves  prevent gas formation also.
So please where ever you stay, take some herbs from your country and boil them and bathe with that water to drive away your body pain. You may take juice and drink it whenever you have phlegm. Please try to understand the value of the herbs near your houses. God has created near your house to feed you or help you when you are in need.
   So dear dear friends do not ignore herbs. Herbs are the valuable pearls of the ground we live.Do respect them . Appreciate them . We will be blessed by them. Yours Sincerely

www.malaysianherbals.com (11)Psyllium Husk இஸ்போகல்

http://www.sidhhaherbs.blogspot.com

Psyllium husk (Plantago psyllium)

Psyllium


இதுவே நாம் இஸ்போகல் வித்து என்று அழைப்பது. இஸ்போகல்னப்படும் இதனை மலத்தை இளக்கவும்,கொழுப்பைக்குறைக்கவும் பயன்படுத்துவர்.

The popular name assigned to the plant genus Plantago is also known as psyllium.

 The seeds of this plant are widely used for its mucilage. The varied species of Plantago known as psyllium or Indian plantago are annual herbs which are native to the Mediterranean region of southern Europe and North Africa.

The word psyllium is said to have originated from a Greek word for a flea, which explains the size, shape, and whitish color of the seed, which is the most important commercial part of this plant.
The stemless annual bears dark green leaves arranged alternately in a basal rosette, giving rise to an erect spike of dull, wind-pollinated flowers.

Psyllium is quickly becoming one of the top recommendations for people using low-carb Atkins-style diets. It is very difficult to get enough fibre in a diet when you eliminate the carbohydrates in cereals, whole grains and fruits. Psyllium capsules are an easy way to take care of this problem. It fills you with fibre, reducing appetite without overstimulating the nervous system; a much healthier approach than formulas containing ephedra such as Herbalife or Metabolife.
Psyllium is the husk of the seed of the Plantain and is a top herb used in weight control and for general intestinal health. It contains a spongy fiber that reduces appetite, improves digestion and cleanses the system, making it an excellent choice for healthy dieting. Psyllium can provide the fiber that is missing on low carbohydrate diets. Every 100 grams of psyllium provides 71 grams of soluble fiber; a similar amount of oat bran would contain only 5 grams of soluble fiber. Only recently have scientists learned that soluble fiber has unique effects on metabolism. Just take one or two capsules with a glass of water or Yerba Mate diet tea, half hour before meals. The herb also provides a feeling of fullness that is helpful before meals. Psyllium is one of the simplest, healthiest and most effective herbs for weight control.
Psyllium has also been used for irritable bowel syndrome (a stress-related disorder with alternating bouts of diarrhea and constipation). Because it will produce easy bowel movements with a loose stool, Psyllium is used by patients with anal fissures (cracks in the skin near the anus) and hemorrhoids and is often recommended following anal or rectal surgery, during pregnancy and as a secondary treatment in certain types of diarrhea.
Psyllium soaks up a significant amount of water in the digestive tract, thereby making stool firmer and, under these circumstances, slower to pass. Psyllium also has the additional advantages over other sources of fiber of reducing flatulence and bloating. It may be recommended by a physician to help soften stool and reduce the pain associated with hemorrhoids.
இது மேன்மையான மருந்து. மலத்தைஇலகுவாக்குகிறது. குடலுக்காக மருந்துகள் எடுக்குமுன்பு உங்கள் எண்ணத்தில் வரவேண்டியது இதுவே!



In a study of people with ulcerative colitis (a type of inflammatory bowel disorder), psyllium seeds were as shown to be as effective as the prescription drug mesalamine in decreasing recurrences of the disease. In addition, a physician may recommend the use of psyllium as a bulking agent for mild to moderate cases of diarrhea from either ulcerative colitis or Crohn's disease (another type of inflammatory bowel disorder).
Research reported in The American Journal of Clinical Nutrition concludes that the use of soluble-fiber cereals is an effective and well-tolerated part of a prudent diet for the treatment of mild to moderate Hypercholesterollaemia. Soluble fibers such as those in psyllium husk, guar gum, and oat bran have a cholesterol-lowering effect when added to a low-fat, low-cholesterol diet. Studies reported in The American Journal of Clinical Nutrition have shown psyllium to be quite effective in lowering total as well as LDL ("bad") cholesterol levels, which can be helpful to those with high cholesterol and those at increased risk for developing hypercholesterolemia, such as people with type 2 diabetes.
Studies and clinical reports suggest that psyllium may enhance the sensation of fullness and reduce hunger cravings. For these reasons, incorporating psyllium and other sources of fiber into the diet may aid weight loss.
For those simply wishing to improve digestion and intestinal tract health, a single capsule per day is all that is needed.

A word of caution


Excessive intake of psyllium seeds in any form might be allergic to individuals therefore it is advisable to intake these seeds only after prescriptions from doctor.

www.malaysianherbals.com (9)Cabbage முட்டைகோஸ்

       http://www.sidhhaherbs.blogspot.com
Our Daily Food Serves As Our Medicine
முட்டைகோஸ்
Yes! What ever we eat there is a vital value in it. Be it fruits, vegetables or grains and even flowers contain a lot of vitamins. But we don't tend to know the nutritious value in it; nor we care about it. Like other leaf vegetables, cabbage contains vitamin K, the blood-clotting vitamin produced naturally by bacteria in our intestines.
 Additional intake of vitamin K may reduce the effectiveness of anticoagulants (warfarin, Coumadin, Panwarfin), so that larger doses may be required cooked. For Cancers And ulcers Don't think less about cabbage. After the 5th day of giving birth the breast will be tight and painful and the pain will pave her to get fever . Just apply 2or3 leaves under the bra and the pain will vanish off.
For chronic ulcer drink the fresh juice one or two times along with Siddha medicine and you will be cured.
Cabbages are also a good source of riboflavin.
 Nutritive Values of Cabbage (Per 100 gm) Protection against certain cancers. Naturally occurring chemicals (indoles, isothiocyanates, glucosinolates, dithiolethiones, and phenols) in cabbage, Brussels sprouts, broccoli, cauliflower, and other cruciferous vegetables appear to reduce the risk of some cancers, perhaps by preventing the formation of carcinogens in your body or by blocking cancer-causing substances from reaching or reacting with sensitive body tissues or by inhibiting the transformation of healthy cells to malignant ones .


. Cabbage and lettuce differ in their nutritional content, composition and taste. Though they are both considered to be leafy green vegetables, cabbage is generally eaten cooked while lettuce is often left uncooked  Cabbage has a slightly thicker leaf, often with a purple tinge. Lettuce is thinner and more chewable. Both contain many vitamins and minerals with little calories and fat. Monoamine oxidase (MAO) inhibitors.
 Monoamine oxidase (MAO) inhibitors are drugs used to treat depression.
They inactivate naturally occurring enzymes in your body that metabolize tyramine, a substance found in many fermented or aged foods. Tyramine constricts blood vessels and increases blood pressure. If you eat a food such as saucer  kraut which is high in tyramine while you are taking an Mnticoagulants.

There are three different types of Cabbage- green, red and Savoy. The red and green cabbages are crinkly in texture and crunchier than the Savoy variety. Whatever the variety is the inside is cleaner and of lighter colour. Even though the inside of the cabbage is clean you should cut the cabbage and wash under running water. Sometimes worms or insects can appear in cabbages grown organically and inspection and cleaning is a must.

To cut cabbage into smaller pieces, first quarter it and remove the core and then cut into slices of varying thickness, grated by hand or shredded in a food processor.


 Like other leaf vegetables, cabbage contains vitamin K, the blood-clotting vitamin produced naturally by bacteria in our intestines. Additional intake of vitamin K may reduce the effectiveness of anticoagulants (warfarin, Coumadin, Panwarfin), so that larger doses may be requiredAO inhibitor, you cannot effectively eliminate the tyramine from your body. The result may be a hypertensive crisis Always it is preferable to eat raw.
You may wash it with salt water, then the germs bacteria will come out  and then eat as it is. You may sprinkle a bit of pepper or chilly and onions ans a bit of salt.

PURPLE CABBAGE is richer than usual one in vitamins and in money voice.
Consist of more vitamins so it costs more.; but the activities and the benefits are more or less the same.
When you cut open do remember to clean it leaf by leaf because it may contain minute germs ,
