In pervious herbal leaves post i covered most of the keerai that we will be using in our cooking or for medicinal use. Now in this post i would like to add information about few other leaves
Mudakathan keerai (Balloon plant leaf)
We used to take this keerai as dosai when we go to native place and mom also used to make when she gets this keerai. Our Siddha doctor used to suggest my parents to take this keerai as this is going for joints after certain age. Leaves have medicinal properties can be boiled in castor oil or heat with kanchi (extracted after preparing rice) and applied over the joints. Can boil the leaves along with pepper and take as soup. The leaves have anti inflammatory property.
Arugampul (Cynodon dactylon)
Arugampull is rich in fibre, protien, calcium, minerals,etc. It is good for health.This brings down gastric problem, acidity. Wash arukampull and make juice along with water daily and take it will remove bad breath, increases haemoglobin. Brings down asthma problem and blood pressure. This leaf is full of medicinal properties increases immune system. Very auspicious too. Along with medicine the juice can be given to people suffering from leukemia (cancer)
Kattrazhai (Aloevera)
In our home we have this plant. The leaf will be thick from outside, if you scrap the outer skin you can find a moist liquid and gelly inside. Wash the moist (it will smell really bad) and take the jelly part and consume(it will be tasteless) but very good for health. Brings down the body heat, can apply over the cut's. To avoid constipation problem. Aloevera helps to stop the blood when you got your finger cut.
Agathi keerai (Sesbania grandiflora)
Agathi is taken during some occasions and rituals in hindu system. Agathi has the nature to neutralize the secretion of hcl in our digestion system. We used to cook this keerai as dry curry along with pasiparupu/kadalaiparupu after ekadasi fasting. When siddha medicine is taken you should not consume this keerai as it will remove the medicinal effect. Occasionaly we can consume agathi keerai. Contains laxative properties
