Aragwadha Tree (Cassia Fistula).

Relaxing in the garden, the best thing to do on a Sunday 🌼🌼

We are in love with our Aragwadha tree (Cassia fistula) 💕

If you live in the Perth area (Western Australia) keep your eyes open for this magical tree 🌿💛 it is flowering at the moment.

Aragwadha is a Sanskrit word that literally means that which eliminates or destroys the disease.

Charaka has categorised Aragwadha as kusthaghna (anti dermatoses), kandughna (anti pruritic) and also recana (laxative).

It’s Ayurvedic properties:
- Rasa (taste) = sweet.
- Virya (potency) = cold.
- Vatapitta (reducing) qualities.
- Samshramana (bowel cleansing qualities).

Karma/ Action: Vata reducing by madhura (sweet) and Singdha (properties) and Pitta reducing by sheeta (cool) veerya.

The flowers look to so beautiful and are used for medicinal purpose as well as the fruit pulp, root bark, and the leaves.

- Shampakaha – the fruit having good omen.
- Vyadhighata - cures disease.
- Rajavrisksha - beautiful/ majestic tree.
