Health Benefits of Arjun : Arjuna Bark and Safoof

Health Benefits and Uses of Arjun

I still remember fifteen years ago. A dear lady from India came to us. Her foot slipped while climbing the stairs. When she fell, she hit his hip bone. In those days, wrestlers put the bone in the right place and applied medicine. Bandages would be tied, and Allah's command would connect the bones. The wrestler saw and said the bone had been hit in two or three places.

The dear lady remained silent there. She came home and said I had seen Arjun trees here. Order its bark from Gardener. I will apply the bark and eat it. The bone would heal, and it did within 20-21 days.

Sister Azra Durrani had come from Makkah recently. I told him you will perform Tawaf and pray for Shabbir Qureshi. He has hepatitis C and is very sick. Girls are young, and they are the head of the house. May Allah grant them health; they are apprehensive. He also prayed there and wrote a letter that takes four or five leaves of Arjun, breaks them with your hands, and soaks them in water. Soak in the night, strain the water in the morning, and drink it. People are relieved by it. It has benefited a lot. Arjun is an effective medicine for hepatitis.

Arjun trees are abundant in Punjab. They are also present in Lahore's Lawrence Garden (Bagh-e-Jinnah). The tree is 80 to 100 feet tall, and the trunk is 10 to 20 feet thick, then branches sprout. Its bark is smooth and grayish-white. The outer bark is white, and the inner bark is red, soft, and fibrous. The leaves are three to six inches long and one to two inches wide. Small yellow flowers appear in Chait Baisakh. Its fruit is five to six-sided and hard like wood. Fruits fall under the tree.

Arjun is called (Terminalia Arjuna) in Latin. Known as Arjun in Sanskrit, Parth, Phalgun, Kakh, Hindi and Bangla as Arjuna. It is helpful in heart diseases. This tree is found in Nagra of Punjab, Central India, Rajputana, Frontier Province, Sindh, South India, Lanka, Burma, and Terai of the Himalayas. The most essential component in its bark is glucoside. It slows the heart rate and strengthens the heart like the famous English drug Digitlis. Digitlis can harm heart patients if used for a long time while using Arjun cures weakness of the heart, pulse, swelling of the heart, pain in the heart, and other ailments. Modern research also confirms its benefits.

Written in Raj Vallabh Nighantu: Arjun is a valuable medicine for wounds, broken bones, asthma, and urinary incontinence. In the famous Ayurveda book Chakradatta, the milk prepared from Arjun is highly praised for heart diseases. It says poppy Arjun. Take a tola and grind it coarsely. Take one cup of cow's milk and one cup of water, put Arjun in it, and cook it on a low flame until the water dries up and the milk remains. Take it off, filter it, mix it with sugar, and drink it in the morning. This trick of chakardat has been tested by ascetics and sages. This should be done continuously for some time in the morning. More than one to two weeks will be needed for full recovery.

Sometimes, the wound gets damaged, and worms get into it. The wound should be washed with the decoction of Arjun bark and sprinkled with Arjun bark powder (safoof). Some people keep Arjun's leaves and tie a bandage. It heals the wound.

Ajun is mixed with other medicines to prepare tablets Physicians Hakims uses for diabetes. It is perfect for patients who have a lot of urine. A young boy was injured in the leg, which continued to grow. There was no relief from any medicine. Finally, he stopped walking. A Jogi passed away. He took two handfuls of powder (safoof) from his bag and said to take fresh Arjun bark, cook it, rewash the wound in the day, and sprinkle it on it. Eat two pinches of powder (safoof) with cow's milk in the morning. The injury will heal in eight days. It happened. I found out later. Jogi gave Arjun's bark powder (safoof).

It is written in old pen books and Chakardat: "People who consume pappy Arjun with clarified butter or milk jaggery syrup are protected from heart diseases. They do not get fever and other diseases. Their health is intact". The Journal of Ayurveda Braj AC Sharad Bhashak writes in light of his experiences: we have found Arjun to be very effective provided it is used daily in the morning. Here is the correct way:

• Take three mashas of Arjun powder (safoof), two spoons of sugar, and 1 cup of boiling cow's milk.

Arjun is such a precious tree. The benefits are excellent, but people must be aware of it. The bark of this tree has been used in medicine for centuries. Bengal Chemicals in Kalkatta had prepared its liquid extract to facilitate medicine use.

Treatment with Arjun is harmless and healing. Those who soak some of its leaves in water at night and use it must write me a letter and tell me how much they have benefited—especially hepatitis patients so that other people can also help. The leaves of Arjun are smooth, and there are two pairs of leaves on each branch; there are 10 to 15 pairs, and there is only one leaf at the end. Physicians also treat obesity with it. It is astringent and has a bitter taste. In heart disease, physicians use it with restriction for one year, and the patient recovers. Its five-lobed fruits also strengthen the heart, reduce blood pressure, strengthen nerves and bones, and join broken bones.

Taking Arjun with milk reduces cholesterol slowly. It is an entirely harmless treatment. Jam is made from Arjun fruits. Eating it strengthens the heart and increases appetite. The stomach becomes lighter, and constipation is relieved. Take one kilogram of its fruits, clean it, cut it with a knife, make jam with two kilograms of sugar, and eat one to five grains in the morning for breakfast; it will be very beneficial. If the injury has blue marks, grind Arjun bark, add lemon or citrus juice, and apply it on the blue area two to four times; if you eat a little powder (safoof), you will get relief.
