Ashwatha plant - #3367
I’ve recently started exploring the spiritual and medicinal uses of plants, and I came across the ashwatha plant. I know it’s considered sacred in Indian traditions, but does the ashwatha plant also have practical health benefits? I’ve heard that its bark and leaves can be used for treating conditions like diabetes and skin issues. Is that true? If so, how are the different parts of the ashwatha plant prepared—are they boiled, ground into paste, or consumed directly? Another question I have is about the spiritual aspect. Is there a specific ritual for using the ashwatha plant for health purposes, or can anyone incorporate it into their daily life without following traditional practices? If anyone has used the ashwatha plant for medicinal or spiritual purposes, please share your experience. Did it have a noticeable effect on your condition, and how long did you use it?
