Enhances Digestion :

The abundance of anti-inflammatory and digestive qualities in Dhataki helps in promoting digestion, assimilation, and passage of food through the body  Not only does it effectively prevent gastric spasms but can also help treat conditions like diarrhoea, constipation, gastritis, abdominal pain, abdominal distension, Gerd, etc. It also facilitates the absorption of nutrients from the food and hence incorporating this incredible herb into your diet can help get your digestive process back on track.

Acne and Pimples :

A Kapha-Pitta dosha skin type can be prone to acne and pimples. According to Ayurveda, aggravation of Kapha increases sebum production which clogs the pores. This results in the formation of both white and blackheads. An aggravation of Pitta also causes red papules (bumps) and inflammation with pus. Applying Dhataki powder helps to control acne and pimples. It prevents excess sebum production, removes clogging of pores, and reduces inflammation. This is because of its Kapha and Pitta balancing properties.

Fights Respiratory Issues :

Powered with powerful anti-inflammatory, anti-biotic, and anti-asthmatic properties, Dhataki is considered to be a well-known traditional remedy for all sorts of respiratory troubles.  It is quintessential in treating the common cold, sore throat, cough, and flu symptoms. Being a Kapha pacifier, it actively thins and loosens catarrh particles within the chest and nasal cavities and hence eases breathing and helps the body to get rid of mucus. It is also beneficial for treating asthma and other bronchial conditions.

Treats Diarrhoea :

Apart from dysentery, the potent anti-bacterial and anti-diarrhoeal properties of Dhataki are extensively used for removing bacteria from the intestines that cause diarrhoea and other intestinal infections. When ingested alongside nagarmotha (i.e., Cyperus rotundus) and sonth (i.e., Zingiber Officinalis), 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. This formulation not only removes toxins from the body but also effectively reduces the frequency of stools.

Take two tbsp of honey or a cup of buttermilk along with Dhataki powder to treat diarrhoea or dysentery.

Augments Skin Health :

An aggravation of the Pitta doshas within the body may often lead to different types of skin infections, eczema, acne, and poor complexion. Sanctified with antioxidant, antimicrobial, and anti-inflammatory properties, Ayurveda acknowledges Dhataki as a well-known absolute remedy for various skin conditions. Owing to its blood purifying qualities which help in removing toxins from the blood, it helps in treating a host of skin infections as well. It not only helps in shielding the skin from oxidative radical damage due to the harmful UVA and UVB rays, but also reduces the risk of the various signs of ageing like wrinkles, blemishes, spots, fine lines, and dark circles. It is also beneficial for treating allergic conditions like acne, pimples, zits, psoriasis, scabies, eczema, and many more.

Make a paste of 1 tbsp aloe vera gel, 1 tsp dried Dhataki flower powder, a pinch of turmeric, and rose water. Apply this paste all over the face and neck for a radiant, blemish-free dewy complexion.

Sunburn :

Dhataki is useful for fighting against sunburn. According to Ayurveda, sunburn is due to an aggravation of Pitta dosha. This is because of continuous exposure to the sun. Applying Dhataki flower paste gives a cooling effect and reduces the burning sensation due to its Sita (cold) and Ropan (healing) nature.

Manages Diabetes :

The abundance of hypoglycemic properties in Dhataki holds high significance in alleviating the blood sugar levels of the body. The production of insulin from the pancreatic β-cells becomes active on taking the bark powder. It helps to reduce the breakdown of starch into glucose which in turn leads to low blood glucose levels.

Take equal quantities of dried Dhataki flower’s powder, Lodhra powder, and Sandalwood powder. Take 1 tsp of this mixture along with honey thrice a day for regulating blood sugar levels.
