Steemit Engagement Challenge S16/ W5 || Ancient Medicine

in Healthy Steem3 months ago

Hello friends


Healthy Steem

Assalamu Alaikum


I am @jollymonoara from Bangladesh .


Many years ago, when people did not know the use of medicine, they used to roam around in the forest and prepare medicine from the leaves, vines, barks and roots of different types of trees and used them to cure diseases or apply them as a coating on some part of the body.

In the early days, the ancients relied on natural medicine instead of chemical medicine, and then they used to prepare specific medicine for specific diseases from those natural plants and they also got relief from it.

Nowadays, when the medicinal industry is developed, the use of plants is not so much in this era, but many of the Steemit users were not aware of the ancient medicines of the country from their point of view. So some people resorted to ancient natural medicine about that or many did not recover from it.

Today we are so lucky to be able to apply medicine to heal any sick person instantly.


Healthy Steem has organized a beautiful challenge in the community about ancient medicine in which I am expressing my views about ancient medicine.

In your country, what kind of ancient medicine did they practice?

Ayurvedic treatment was the most popular ancient and traditional treatment method in our country and India. And the Ayurveda doctor was called Kaviraj.

If there was a problem with the body, everyone would run to Kaviraj.

This medicine was usually made from different types of herbs which we identify as medicinal plants, in this type of medicine, the plants were made from the leaves of any tree, the vine of any tree, the stem of any tree or the roots of any tree. And their extract was fed to sick people for healing.

The most popular ancient medicine was the use of Turmeric.


At that time raw turmeric extract was extracted from the juice and fed, starting from the digestive system of the stomach to increase the immune system of various diseases, even applied externally on the screen to increase the beauty. Apart from this, he used to keep his stomach in good shape and used neem and sandalwood to increase his skin and beauty.

Moreover, in the morning, the teeth were brushed with Darshan-sanskar churna powder and neem dal, and triphala fruit was soaked in water and fed.

Tulsi and Basak leaf extract were more popular in those days especially for fever body ache and cold cough. It was quite an effective ancient medicine. Still but this tulsi(Holy Basil) and basak(Malabar nut) leaves are applied for cold cough.


In case of dysentery, Arjun tree bark and Thankuni leaf juice was a very old medicine. Raw bananas and ripe bananas were the best for curing the stomach.
Apart from this, garlic was massaged with mustard oil for pain and onion juice was massaged with mustard oil on the chest for colds and coughs and ginger juice was another best remedy for colds
.


In the case of colds, the ancients used to make a medicine by mixing ginger and honey in tea which was given as tea. It used to cure a sick person from sore throat.image.png

We used to use such medicinal plants when we were young, but there are still some medicinal plants that have been used for ages, especially spices, medicinal plants, onion, garlic, ginger and turmeric.

In ancient times, black cumin/Nigella sativa was called a great medicine for all diseases. Kavirajera asked to keep black cumin in the food menu every day. Especially after pregnancy, this black cumin was given to the mother of a lactating baby because it was said that its eats more or the baby can take more milk from its mother.

Kalijira/Black cumin oil prepared from this Kalijira was used as a medicine for various diseases.


Can you give your honest opinion according to your beliefs? (your point of view is valuable to us)

In the early days, people suffered more from diseases and suffered from diseases and were more likely to die from accidents.

About 5,000 years ago, the basic principles of medical treatment were elusive to doctors. Although people have been finding ways to get rid of disease and grief since ancient times, the medical system is so modern that people no longer have to rely on the medical system of that ancient era.


In ancient times, a group of sailors contracted a disease called scurvy. Starting from tooth decay, the root of the tooth was loosening..now we know that the disease called scurvy occurs due to lack of vitamin C.

Then a tree called Aneda (Evergreen) made a way and applied it quickly and got rid of the disease of the teeth. At that time this tree called aneda cured the deadly scurvy but it took another 200 years to find out its treatment method.

I would definitely like to give my opinion here according to my beliefs;.

When we used to play sports when we were kids, if we got a cut and blood came out from there, Durba grass and marigold leaves were very effective to stop the bleeding. We used to squeeze them with a cochlear to the cut place and it would stop the bleeding.

When we shaved our heads, we mixed the juice of the leaves of the jaba flower tree and the juice of the False daisy tree (Eclipta alba)and applied it to our heads. By doing this, the new hair that grew on the head was very thick and black.

Again, instead of hair shampoo, the head was cleaned with water soaked in mustard cake. I have also used mustard cakehair in this case.

Using raw turmeric for beauty enhancement is one of the most effective methods that I have used regularly. The use of sandalwood was very popular in cosmetics. And if you have a slight cold and cough, drinking tea made with ginger, cloves and bay leaves would at least get rid of the cold.

So once I also applied all Ayurvedic treatment methods first instead of medicine when I saw that they did not give complete cure then I took medicine.

I think these ancient medicines made from plants can cure any disease initially and there are no side effects.
Naturally these Ayurvedic ancient medicines occupy a prominent place in the world of alternative medicine


Can you describe some elements they used at the time? What was the special use of each one?

Some of the ingredients I used at that time was described here and the best one was raw turmeric.
This I have applied all over the body to enhance the external beauty of the body and for occasional itching I have used neem leaf juice with turmeric. This would get rid of allergies.Also, raw turmeric juice was very effective for stomach and physical beauty, I used to consume it often.

Some of the ingredients used at that time are turmeric ginger and onion, garlic,neem
I am giving a brief description of these elements here-

Here I will show the detailed description of Tulsi plant.

Because the presence of tulsi plant in a garden when all the plants in a garden beautify the place and bring better energy to that place then useful and medicinal plant like tulsi plant adorns one's garden.

Basil/Tulsi tree is a sacred tree for Hindus and every home has a Tulsi tree. Tulsi tree has many medicinal properties and is beneficial for health.

Tulsi plant has many healing powers and it fights against cold and cough and other diseases.
So many people say that if you want to be healthy, then chew a Tulsi leaf every day.

I always keep tulsi plants in my garden, one tulsi plant grows into many tulsi plants without any care. Many types of Tulsi plants can be obtained from the seed of one plant.

So the natural scenery of the Tulsi tree growing without care is very beautiful.

Hello dear, I wish to you to be in peace and living their best moments of life.
I agree with your post hundred percent. In ancient times chemical medicines were not used at all because such medicines were not developed then, but the people of that time had a lot of experience; they used to cure diseases with natural medicines. They had a lot of knowledge about Ayurvedic medicines made from leaves of trees and plants.

They knew how to use spices and tree barks properly. In today's time people do not have that much information. Due to this lack, the use of chemical medicines has increased even more whereas these are very harmful.
I enjoyed reading your post. Wish you good may you always achieve whatever you aim for yourself in life and make the best journey .Greetings from me Have a beautiful

Ancient medicine is the treatment that our early men used to cure themselves with herbal ingredients. Ancient Medicine This herbal ingredient is used to cure human diseases by using the leaves, bark, and roots of plants. Durbaghas is very helpful in stopping bleeding which I have used many times with good results. Every ingredient you mentioned is beneficial for the human body. Your writing is excellent.

In ancient times, black cumin/Nigella sativa was called a great medicine for all diseases.

As someone belonging to agriculture family, I grew up surrounded by herbal remedies, I can attest to the power of black cumin. My grandmother used to swear by its healing properties, and whenever we felt under the weather, she would brew us a cup of black cumin tea. It's amazing how nature provides such effective remedies for various ailments.

Using raw turmeric for beauty enhancement is one of the most effective methods that I have used regularly.

Oh yeah, I totally agree with this! My aunt used to apply raw turmeric paste on her face, and her skin always looked radiant and flawless. I've tried it myself, and I must say, it does wonders for brightening up the complexion. Nature truly holds the secret to timeless beauty.

This reminds me of my childhood days spent in my grandfather's lush garden. He had a variety of medicinal plants growing there, including tulsi, neem, and aloe vera. Whenever we fell sick, my grandfather would pluck fresh leaves and prepare herbal remedies for us. It's amazing how something as simple as a garden can hold the key to good health and well-being.

All the best

Upvoted. Thank You for sending some of your rewards to @null. It will make Steem stronger.

It is captivating to know the many uses of turmeric which were applied in ancient traditions. Taking health in a holistic approach, it will keep you healthy by boosting immunity and glorifying the skin too, which is a perfectly done package. Promoting the use of neem and sandalwood as skin and beauty solutions, which is another means of rooting in the holistic approach in traditional medicine, is one of the methods. This is one of the ways nature rituals remind us that our being is closely tied with nature and our happiness.

Hello @jollymonoara , hope you are having a good day.Ancient medicine was big on using plants and natural stuff. They'd use things like turmeric, neem and ginger to treat all sorts of problems. Even simple things like raw turmeric for skin or ginger for a cold were popular. It's good to see how they found solutions without modern medicine, really enjoyed reading your blog wish you success 💖🤗🌸💐🌺.
