Benefit and uses of FIG (ANJEER)
February 18, 2008 82 CommentsFIG (ANJEER)
It is a plant of the genus Ficus of the mulberry family (Moraceae). Ficus carica (the common fig) which yields the well-known fig of commerce is indigenous to an area extending from Asiatic Turkey to India. It is a bush or small tree from a metre to 12 metres high with broad, rough, deciduous leaves, deeply lobed.
Fig fruits are borne singly or in pairs above the scars of fallen leaves or in axils of leaves. The flowers are male or female. The fig is one of the earliest fruit trees cultivated by primitive man. Figs are known to possess in an unusual degree two important food qualities: a definite laxative effect and a high alkalinity of ash. The laxative effect is probably due to the bulk of seeds and fibre combined with some specific solvent present in the juice. In Mediterranean countries, the fig is so widely used both fresh and dried that it is called ‘the poor man’s food’.
Figs provide such minerals as calcium and phosphorus; dried figs are also high in iron. The figs are astrigent and carminative; the dried figs are given in doses of 150 gram with honey in menorrhagia, hepatitis and dysentery; the figs are very useful in diabetes; A decoction of dried figs is an excellent mouthwash for sore throat and aphthous complaints of the mouth.

Hey, I just wanted to let you know, I really like the written material on your website. But I’m utilising Chromium on a machine running version 9.04 of Ubuntu plus the search and experience aren’t quite satisfying. Not a powerful deal, I can still essentially read the articles and search for info, but just desired to inform you about that. The navigation bar is kind of challenging to use with the config I’m running. Retain up the superb operate!

I have been surfing online more than three hours today, yet I never found any interesting article like yours. It’s pretty worth enough for me. In my opinion, if all webmasters and bloggers made good content as you did, the internet will be much more useful than ever before.
