- •The Aak plant (Madar/Akwan) is an ancient Ayurvedic remedy often overlooked, according to Ayush Medical Officer Mohammed Iqbal in Rampur.
- •For joint pain and stiffness, warm an Aak leaf with sesame or mustard oil and tie it over the affected area overnight for relief.
- •Aak leaf powder mixed with honey can alleviate chronic coughs, especially beneficial during winter.
- •Its sap contains antiseptic, antibacterial, and anti-inflammatory properties, making it useful for skin issues like ringworm, itching, and rashes when applied as a paste with coconut oil.
- •Caution is advised: Aak should not be used without consulting a doctor, especially by children, pregnant women, or those with serious illnesses, due to potential harm from incorrect dosage.
Why It Matters: The Aak plant offers significant medicinal benefits for pain, cough, and skin, but requires expert medical guidance.
