Improve Your Health With Trees and Plants
By - Rajeev Sharma
PREFACE
A yurveda is an ancient age old science which has helped human beings a lot. In different ayurvedic texts, several home remedies are described with their medicinal properties.
There are several fruits such as apple, pomegranate, banana; vegetables like onion, garlic, radish, carrot, ginger; cereals; plants; honey; dairy products; water; wheatgrass; spices that help to enhance our life immensely. These are regular items which we find around us, but most of us are unaware about the properties of these nutritional substances. Balanced and healthy food itself is the key to good health.
The main aim of this series is to make general readers aware of these helpful healthy items, to which most of us are ignorant.
I have included those properties of each substance which are scientifically proved and are prevalent in our families through the times of our forefathers. Hopefully, you will find this series beneficial for the whole family. You can choose any one of these books depicting your choice and follow one formula only, at a time. If there is any need, you can consult an ayurvedic physician or can write to me.

BARGAD
General properties of Bargad
Bargad is known as Vat, Nygnodh, Sharangi and Bahupad in Sanskrit and Banyan in English. This tree provides a dense shade and its fruits satiate the hunger and provide vital nourishment to the people. That is why, in the Vedas it is referred to as the ‘Mahavriksha’ or ‘Great tree’.
Bargad is supposed to be a very long-lasting tree. As it grows for many years, its horizontal size also increases, making many of its roots upside down to provide extra support for its growth. This is a very sacred tree for the Buddhists who worship it because Gautam Buddha became the Enlightened one under the shade of this tree. The size of Bargad is big enough to accommodate a full army underneath its shade.
Not only Bargad’s fruits, leaves and other products are useful for the human body, its mere presence purifies the atmosphere. It takes up all the toxic gases and give only purified oxygen. It is believed that person living close to Bargad tree becomes immune to the T.B. germs. Its products can help ladies to remove their barrenness and help them in conceiving. And its products are equally good aphrosodiac for enhancing the sexual potency of the male folk,
Bargad has many medicinal properties. Its milk is supposed to remove many skin troubles. Its fruit cures almost all the problem of the organs related to genes of both males and females. Because of its long age and undecaying quality, it is also known as ‘Akshaya-vat’.
Although, this tree survives for many hundred years, yet we must try to keep this tree green and growing. Proper care of this tree will duly return your services many times over. Do not just worship this tree, try to keep its shade clean and keep its products fresh and firm.
