Benefits of absinthe: Rewa is said to be a treasure trove of herbs and medicinal plants. Many such medicines are found naturally here, which have been used in Ayurveda for centuries. One of these is absinthe. It is a perennial medicinal plant, which grows in cold climates and hilly areas. Despite being extremely bitter in taste, Chiraita is counted among the most effective medicines of Ayurveda.
It is definitely bitter, but it is like nectar for the body.
The bitterness of absinthe is considered its biggest strength. It helps in removing toxic elements from the body and works to purify the blood. Its regular and limited consumption strengthens immunity, due to which the body is able to fight seasonal diseases and infections in a better way.
Panacea for fever, viral and liver
Dr. Arvind Tripathi, Medical Officer of Rewa Ayurveda Hospital, says that the use of absinthe is very beneficial in diseases like fever, cough and cold. The anti-viral properties present in it reduce the symptoms of viral infections. Chiraita is also considered helpful in anemia, because its nutrients help in making blood. This medicine is also very beneficial for the liver. The element ‘sverchirin’ found in it protects the liver from damage and is also beneficial in problems like hepatitis.
Also effective in digestion, skin and joint pain
Chiraita strengthens the digestive system. Its bitterness activates the digestive juices, which provides relief from problems like gas, indigestion and constipation. In Ayurveda, it is also considered a medicine to increase appetite, eliminate stomach worms and reduce joint pain. Chiraita is also beneficial for the skin. The antioxidant and anti-inflammatory properties present in it provide relief from skin diseases and slow down the aging process.
How to consume absinthe, know the right way
Chirata decoction, powder and chirata water are used in different problems. The decoction is beneficial for immunity and fever, the powder helps in digestion and blood purification, while the absinthe water is used for detox. However, it is a very powerful medicine, hence consuming it in excess quantity can be harmful. It is important to consult an Ayurvedic doctor before long-term use.
