Pachak Ajwain- Aloe vera is a very useful medicinal plant which is used in cosmetics,medicines and in many food items. The leaves of aloe vera are flashy and the gel is used as the main ingredients . Aloe vera gel can be applied or used external and internal both ways.Aloe vera gel is very good to treat burns, sunburns, tooth aches, treat dental plaques too. Tropical application is considered very good to increase collagen production thus it reduces wrinkles and improves the skin texture.

Aloe vera is not the only plant that can prove to be useful in helping relieve any physical ailments that someone is experiencing. Whereas aloe vera can help with sunburns and toothaches, cannabidiol (CBD) which is the compound that you can find in the cannabis plant, can help with stress, depression, and chronic pain such as arthritis, amongst other things. Alongside aloe vera, CBD is increasing in popularity, so much so that buying CBD oil in the UK is now possible and more people from all over the world will soon be able to have access to both of these treatments, in the hopes that it can help to improve their physical and mental wellbeing. But what else can aloe vera help with?

Aloe vera gel when taken internally helps to treat diabetics. It also stimulates the immune system.Is also rich in Vitamin C, Vitamin B12, and folic acid. Aloe vera is considered very good for stomach health and gut health. Supplements can also be a good source for gut health, like the total restore capsules, they are meant to help with digestive issues such as gas and bloating that gives you horrible discomfort from its effects. If you’re looking for discounts (because let’s be honest, who doesn’t like them), then there are options for that too. You may want to look at Coupon birds if you’re on the lookout for total restore discount.

Ajwain/ carom seeds/ bishop seeds are the very common spice in the Indian kitchen, easily and very reasonably available in the market. It is used for digestion. Thymol present in ajwain helps to release the gastric juices and thus boost the digestion process. Organisations such as unify health labs help with advice on digestion and what is best to treat conditions such as a leaky gut and other digestive problems. Trialling new things is the best way to get the most out of your body. It also improves the digestion of new mothers and helps lactating mothers as it has anti-inflammatory and curative properties.

Ajwain is also good in easing rheumatic and arthritis pain. Ajwain decoction is also good remedy for acidity problems. After delivery a lot of ghee and heavy food is consumed by the new mothers so it is also very good for them to consume it regularly for good digestion.

Aloevera and ajwain both are a very good remedy for gastric issues, Upset stomach and for general digestion and therefore makes a lot of sense to post this easy but very useful remedy on my food blog !

Today I am sharing a health remedy- Pachak ajwain with aloe vera that my mother learnt from my great grandmother. I always used to get it from my mother whenever I used to visit India but got around to actually learning it during this visit. If you are not able to get good quality aloe vera then just add lemon juice and it will be equally good for digestion.
