'
The pomegranate botanical name punica granatum is
a fruit-bearing decudous shrub or small tree growing between 5-8 meters tall. In the Indian subcontinent's ancient Ayurveda system of medicine, the pomegranate
has extensively been used as a source of traditional remedies. The rind of the
fruit and the bark of the pomegranate tree is used as a traditional remedy
against diarrhea, dysentery and intestinal parasites. The
seeds and juice are considered a tonic for the heart and throat, and classified
as having bitter-astringent taste plus a range of taste from sweet to sour,
depending on ripeneness. Thus Pomegranate is considered a healthful
counterbalance to a diet high in sweet-fatty components. Sweet, pomegranate fruit is nourishing for systems
and is known as a blood builder. The astringent qualities of the flower juice,
rind and tree bark are considered valuable for a variety of purposes, such as
stopping nose bleeds and gum bleeds, toning skin, (after blending with mustard
oil) firming-up sagging breasts, and treating hemorrhoids. Pomegranate
juice) is also used as an eye drop, as it is believed to slow the development
of cataracts. Pomegranate has been used as a contraceptive and abortifacient by
means of consuming the seeds, or rind, as well as by using the rind as a
vaginal suppository. This practice is recorded in ancient Indian literature, in
medieval sources, and in modern folk medicine.
