Traditions and rituals have been a huge part of Indian history. It is interesting to note that all cultures have one or the other scientific importance for humanity's well-being. Similarly, the modes of celebration of all the festivals hold a deep significance in themselves. In this context, several herbs and leaves contain great medicinal value in the form of prayer offerings. These components are used as offerings in prayers and are said to please various lords of Hindu culture. Simultaneously, they also hold therapeutic values that benefit the devotees and treat several diseases. For example, Lord Ganesh is believed to be the greatest of all and is worshipped on every occasion. Therefore, most of these herbs are used to offer him. However, utilising them regularly is equally fruitful for people. Ayurveda Expert Vikas Chawla, Founder & Director of Vedas Cure, shares some remarkable benefits of a few of these herbs and leaves mentioned below that can be of massive help when used even other than the auspicious festivities.

  9. Nirgundi (Vitex negundo)- This herb is already used clinically. It is a vital source of balancing the 'Vata', regulating the digestive system, curing headaches, inflammation, leukoderma, cough and colds, etc.
  10. Jati (Jasminum grandiflorum)- This plant treats skin diseases, wounds, ulcers in the oral cavity, and respiratory system disorders. It also cures headaches and eye diseases with regular use.

Herbs are a symbol of devotional worship in India. Several herbs are culturally associated with different deities and used in congregational ceremonies and religious festivals to show reverence and heartfelt devotion. But it is a lesser-known fact that they also have body-healing properties. This is because God composed nature; anything derived from nature significantly uses humankind. Likewise, the herbs mentioned earlier also have meaty characteristics, which can be used to treat ailments and diseases that plague human society.
