Isn’t it amazing to know that there are over 391,000 species of plants in the world? Every plant species has distinct leaves, flowers, fruits, seeds, flavors, and scents that make the world complete.
With technological advancement and careful observation of botanists and scientists, we have identified the importance and use of the species. But what surprises me is that our ancestors who had no microscopes and scientific advancement perfectly used plants for healing ailments and diseases that healed millions of lives.
Our ancestors have identified and achieved finding out the use of every species and usually, the fruits, leaves, barks, and roots of the plants are used for medicinal purposes. The flowers are usually used as an offering to the almighty or used as a fragrance enhancer, for their sweet and soothing aroma.
Bogar has mentioned almost every species of plant and has prescribed medicines for almost every disease and ailment. One such classic example is Bogar’s use of a lotus species with only one petal! A lotus with just one petal may sound unbelievable but Bogar has not just mentioned the flower in Bogar Sabdhakandam but has also prescribed the medicinal properties of the one-petalled lotus.
Interesting right? Do watch the video and learn the medicinal benefits of ‘Oridhal Thamarai’ (one petalled lotus)
