What Is Nirgundi Called in Telugu, and What Are Its Medicinal Benefits? - #12524

I recently came across Nirgundi, an important herb in Ayurveda, and I wanted to know its Telugu name and traditional uses. I have read that it is used for pain relief, respiratory health, and joint problems, but I am not sure how it is applied in Telugu traditional medicine. From what I found, Nirgundi in Telugu is called "Nalla Gaddalu" or "Vavili", and it is widely used in Ayurveda and folk medicine. It is believed to have anti-inflammatory, analgesic, and expectorant properties, making it useful for treating arthritis, sinusitis, and muscle pain. One of the most popular Nirgundi benefits is its use for joint pain and swelling. Many people apply Nirgundi oil to painful areas to reduce inflammation and improve mobility. But how long does it take for Nirgundi oil to provide noticeable relief? Another common use of Nirgundi in Telugu medicine is for respiratory issues like cough, asthma, and sinus infections. Some Ayurvedic practitioners recommend drinking Nirgundi tea or decoction to clear congestion and improve breathing. But does it work for chronic bronchitis and allergies? I also read that Nirgundi leaves can be boiled and used in herbal steam therapy to treat sinus congestion and headaches. Has anyone tried this method, and does it provide instant relief? If anyone has used Nirgundi (Vavili) in Telugu traditional medicine, please share how you used it and what benefits you noticed. Also, are there any side effects or precautions to keep in mind? I am interested in using Nirgundi for pain relief and respiratory health, but I want to ensure I use it in the best possible way. Any expert recommendations would be greatly appreciated!
