What Is the Sweet Flag Known as in Marathi, and How Is It Used in Ayurveda? - #11909
I’ve heard of the herb sweet flag, also known as Acorus calamus, but I’m curious about its specific uses in Ayurveda. Can someone explain the sweet flag in Marathi and how it’s used in Ayurvedic medicine? I’m especially interested in how this herb can help with digestive issues, mental clarity, and overall well-being. From what I understand, sweet flag is used to improve digestion, reduce nausea, and promote mental clarity. How does it work in Ayurveda to balance the doshas, especially vata and kapha? Can it be used as a remedy for conditions like indigestion, bloating, or even anxiety? I’ve heard that sweet flag in Marathi is used in a powdered form or as an oil. What are the most common ways to consume it, and what are the proper dosages for adults? Is it safe for children, and can it be used in cases of cold or cough? Additionally, is there any research or scientific evidence to back up the traditional uses of sweet flag in Ayurveda? Are there any potential side effects or precautions I should be aware of when using this herb for medicinal purposes?
