Siddha Thirumoolar's tips for staying young - Terminalia chebula!
The reason behind getting diseases is either an excess or lack of heat, air, and water.
According to Thirumoolar, Terminalia chebula (known as Kadukkai in Tamil) has the incredible power to cleanse the body, mind, and soul. In Tamil tradition, Terminalia chebula is referred to as an Elixir. It helps eliminate all the waste from the stomach and prolongs human life. The taste of Terminalia chebula is Astringent. To maintain a healthy body, we need to consume all six tastes in the right proportion. If any taste is lacking, it can lead to diseases. However, it's not common to consume Astringent taste on a daily basis. The only other food that provides an astringent taste for our daily needs is Banana flowers. So, how can we ensure we have fresh blood in our bodies?
By consuming Terminalia chebula daily, we can fulfill our body's need for astringent taste. Terminalia chebula is readily available in Ayurvedic medical shops. You can make a powder by removing the seeds and have a spoonful of it after dinner every day. This will help you lead a disease-free life.
Terminalia chebula is known to cure various diseases, including eye disorders, hearing disorders, loss of taste, bile problems, stomatitis, ENT problems, peptic ulcers, soreness, herpes, mosaic, eczema, skin diseases, hyperthermia, leucorrhea, bladder irritation, urinary calculus, anuria, urethral stricture, foot burns, hemorrhoids, diabetes, heart disease, joint pain, body weakness, obesity, blood disorders, and hormonal imbalances in men.
One of Siddha Thirumoolar's poems states that even an old man can look young if they consume ginger on an empty stomach, dry ginger in the afternoon, and Terminalia chebula at night continuously for 48 days.
Therefore, Terminalia chebula is truly a natural gem that should be present in every household.
