Chhatarpur. Imagine what would happen if you could get something better than toothpaste from nature. There is also a plant found in the district about which very few people know its use. Ayurvedacharya says that brushing teeth with this plant cleans even the dirty teeth. Besides this, toothache, pyorrhoea, mouth ulcers and wounds also get cured.
Ayurveda doctor RC Dwivedi tells Local 18 that Apamarg is also called Chirchita, Latjira, Chirchira, Ajjhar Jhar or Chichda. This is a very simple plant. You may have seen the Apamarg plant around your house, in the forests, bushes or at other places. Due to lack of recognition of Apamarg, most people consider it useless.
Apamarg (Latjeera) is a herb and has many medicinal properties. The use of Apamarga (chirchita) provides benefits in the treatment of many diseases. The medicinal properties of Apamarga provide relief in many diseases including dental diseases, wounds, digestive system disorders. There are two main species of Apamarga, white Apamarga and red Apamarga, which are used in medicine.
Benefits of Apamarga (Chirchira) in toothache
According to RC Dwivedi, make foya by dipping cotton in the juice of 2-3 leaves of Apamarg. Applying it on teeth cures toothache. Brushing your teeth daily with the fresh root of Apamarga not only cures toothache, it also cures loose teeth, weakness of gums and bad breath. This cleans the teeth thoroughly.
Benefits of Apamarga (Chirchira) in mouth ulcers
RC Dwivedi explains that the properties of Apamarga (Latjira) are beneficial in case of mouth ulcers. For this, make a decoction of Apamarg leaves and gargle. This cures the problem of mouth ulcers.
Benefits of Apamarga (Chirchira) in skin diseases also
RC Dwivedi explains that Apamarg (Latjeera) is beneficial in skin diseases due to its medicinal properties. By grinding its leaves and applying it, skin diseases like boils, pimples and lumps are cured.
Treat wounds like this
RC Dwivedi tells that in case of wound, first of all cook the root of Apamarg (Latjira) in sesame oil and filter it. Apply it on the wound. This reduces the pain of the wound. This also heals the wound.
Another way is to mix one-fourth part of honey in about 50 grams of Apamarg seeds. Cook it well in 50 grams of ghee. After cooking, cool it and apply it on the wound. This heals the wound immediately. Washing the wound with a decoction of the root also helps in healing the wound.
