Benefits of Ativisha :

Fights Respiratory Issues :

Blessed with powerful anti-inflammatory, anti-biotic, and anti-asthmatic properties, Atis is a well-known traditional remedy for all sorts of respiratory troubles.  It is extensively used for treating the common cold, sore throat, cough, and flu symptoms. It also thins and loosens phlegm particles within the chest and nasal cavities and hence eases breathing and helps the body to get rid of mucus. It is also beneficial in treating bronchitis and asthmatic conditions.

Manages Diarrhoea :

The potent anti-bacterial and anti-diarrhoeal properties of Atis are extensively used for removing bacteria from the intestines that cause diarrhoea and other intestinal infections. When ingested in prescribed amounts, it can be used for treating a type of diarrhoea known as AMA ATISARA i.e., acute diarrhoea where the bowel is slimy, sticky, full of mucus, and has a foul odour. Formulations containing Atis not only remove the toxins from the body but also effectively reduce the frequency of stools and even treat dysentery.

Shields Against Infections :

The biochemical constituents present in Atis have been used since the ancient times to combat germs and shield the body against various infections. Thanks to its strong anti-viral, anti-bacterial, and antifungal properties, this bitter herb is not only used for removing bacteria and germs from the body but also used for recurring fever conditions. It also helps in reducing general debility, weakness, and fatigue and improves the vitality of the body.

Regulates Diabetes :

Atis is sanctified with moderate hypoglycaemic properties, which play a key role in pacifying the blood sugar levels in the body. The production of insulin from the β-pancreatic cells becomes active in taking atis or any of its formulations. It helps to reduce the breakdown of starch into glucose which in turn leads to low blood glucose levels and thus helps in managing diabetes.

Cures Loose Motions with Mucus :

An equal part mixture of Ativisha, Triphala, and Cyperus scariosus can be taken two times daily at a dose of 3 grams to treat loose motions. Finely powdered 50 grams of Ativisha, Cyperus scariosus, Pippali, and Pistacia lentiscus gall can be taken 1 gram a day with honey to get rid of cold, cough, vomiting, gastroenteritis, and loose motion.

Common Cold & Flu :

Ativisha powder should be mixed with Basil Leaf Juice (Tulsi Svarasa) and honey. It can be given to children for treating the common cold and infections of the upper respiratory tract. This Ativisha mixture gives relief from nasal blockage, running nose, fever, sneezing, and nasal irritation. It also prevents secondary infections.

Relieves Pain And Inflammation :

Imbued with strong analgesic, anti-inflammatory, and pain-relieving properties of the bioactive components, Atis offers extensive relief from pain and inflammation in case of arthritis and joint pain. Being a natural vasodilator, it is also used to treat painful muscle spasms, sore muscles, arthritic conditions, and other inflammatory situations. Application of a powdered paste of it is extremely effective against Rheumatoid arthritis, which is known as Amavata in Ayurveda, an ailment that stems due to the vitiation of Vata doshas and accumulation of Ama in the joints.

Act As a Detoxifier and Immunity Booster :

Ativisha is an amazing herb for the detoxification of the body. The ativisha root powder is given to children for eliminating any worms in the body. It also acts as a purifier for the blood and boosts immunity.
