Gaozuban is another miracle of my Allah's
creations, the leaves of the plant resemble the shape of a cow's tongue, the
reason for its name.
Khameera Gaozuban is a famous Unani
medicine & its delicious taste is loved by all.
The leaf and flower are adaptogenic,
adrenal tonic, alterative, anti-inflammatory, aperient, calmative, cardiac
tonic, cooling, decongestant, demulcent, depurative, diaphoretic, diuretic,
emollient (flower), expectorant, febrifuge, galactagogue, hypotensive, pectoral,
refrigerant, sedative, stimulant and sudorific (leaf).
Borage is much used for fevers and
pulmonary complaints. By virtue of its saline constituents, it promotes the
activity of the kidneys and for this reason is employed to carry off feverish
catarrhs. Its demulcent qualities are due to the mucilage contained in the whole
plant. Internally useful for bronchial infections (including tuberculosis and
pleurisy), mouth and throat infections, dry cough, dry skin conditions,
cirrhosis, premenstrual syndrome (PMS), thirst and chronic nephritis. Also
stimulates breast milk production in nursing mothers and supports menopausal
changes. Borage acts as a restorative agent on the adrenal cortex, which means
that it revives and renews the adrenal glands after a medical treatment with
cortisone or steroids. There is a growing need for remedies that will aid this
gland with the stress it is exposed to, both externally and internally. In 1989,
Canadian researchers found that Borage reduced the effect of stress in the
cardiovascular system. Stimulates bile secretion and reduces gall bladder
inflammation.
Borage has been used since early times to relieve
depression and reduce chills and influenza. The flowers or leaves also act as an
antidiarrhoeal remedy. They invigorate the heart and are also useful in
palpitation and melancholia. The seeds are a good source of gamma-linoleic acid
(24%), an omega-6 polyunsaturated fatty acid thought to reduce the risk of
arteriosclerosis and to lower blood pressure and this acid is active against
various cancers, such as breast, brain and prostate.
