Due to changing lifestyle, irregular eating habits and lack of nutrients, people often feel tired, lethargic and weak. In such a situation, the indigenous plant Makoy mentioned in Ayurveda is considered very beneficial. Macoy, easily available in rural areas, is beneficial for health in many ways.

Many such nutrients are found in it which are beneficial for health. AYUSH doctors consider it a good source of iron.

In fact, Dr. Smita Srivastava (BAMS, Lucknow University), Medical Officer in-charge of Government AYUSH Hospital, Shivgarh of Rae Bareli district, told Local 18 that the green leaves of Makoy help in strengthening the body from inside. Iron, calcium, phosphorus and antioxidant elements are found in it, which are helpful in removing anemia and increasing immunity.

Dr. Smita Srivastava says that consuming Makoy regularly and in limited quantities reduces body fatigue and improves energy levels. It is especially beneficial for those people who are suffering from weakness or recovery problem for a long time.

Macoy leaves can be consumed by making greens or preparing its decoction. Wash its tender leaves and boil them lightly, then cook them with less spices and eat them. This strengthens the digestive system and provides relief from stomach related problems. Macoy is also considered helpful in keeping the liver healthy, which improves the absorption of nutrients in the body.

However, it is important to take expert advice before consuming any herb, because its use in excess can cause harm. Pregnant women and small children should not consume Makoy without advice.

Green leaves of Makoy are considered helpful in removing physical weakness, increasing blood and strengthening immunity. If consumed properly with a balanced diet and healthy lifestyle, it can play an important role in giving natural strength to the body.
