Health benefits of asafoetida

Health benefits of asafoetida
What is asfoetida?
Asafoetida, a natural gum with a foul odor, is derived from the Persian aza, for mastic or resin, and the Latin foetidus, for stinking. It is extracted from the ferula species' roots and stems, which is a giant fennel.

Usage
Asafoetida is given prime importance in southindian foodstuff. How much is the recipe preparation, it is consumed only in very small quantity say a pinch. But its absence would be really obvious in recipes where its a must. Its consumed mainly with daal or lentil varieties. As in the photo it is available as powder and also as a solid biscuit. The solid one has to be broken into small pieces and the required amount can be dissolved in water and use the water for best flavour.

Health benefits:
1. To overcome kids continous cough- add a pinch of asafoetida powder to a glass of water, allow it to settle. Then give that clear water to your kids. It really works.
2. To overcome the pains caused by abrasives or any wounds: grind some asafoetida with neemleaves & apply on that area to heal soon
3. It overcomes gastric problems. We can add it with recipes that includes cabbage, potato, chick peas...
4. It has power against any poisonous effects in body.
5. A pinch of asafoetida when placed in the dental cavity relieves toothache
6. Used in respiratory disorders like whooping cough, asthma, bronchitis. 2-3 centigrams of this gum with 2 spoons of honey, a spoon of betel leaf extract, 1/4 poon of white onion juice aids to overcome such disorders
7. Its inhalation overcomes hysterial attacks
