| Procedure of Use |
Sankabhai Manakabhai Desai from the Sabarkantha district in Gujarat uses the extract of safed buvariyoor Java aerva(Aerva tomentosa)as a treatment for the common problem of yokegall in bullocks. Desai keeps about 50 grams of the leaves of Java aerva in a container along with a little water and grinds it. He extracts the juice from the crushed leaves of the plant and applies this on the yokegall, thrice a day for five to six days.
<p>
Farmers say that it takes about one week to heal. Desai was taught this traditional method by his father. Java aerva is a perennial wild plant which grows in pasture lands and hills but it has become rare over the years. It is locally known as safed buvariyo.
<p>
Alternatively Ranchhodbhai Khengabhai Desai of the same village uses the leaves of kuvech (Mucuna prurita)</b> instead of Java aerva. He claims that its leaves are equally effective.
<p> According to Dr Jayvir Anjaria, Java aerva contains tannin. It has an astringent action. According to Chopra et al, Java aerva has been reported to have been used to remove swelling. |
