For increasing the power and strength of a weak horse, farmer Bavubhai Aapabhai from Bhavnagar district of Gujarat uses tanner’s cassia (Cassia auriculata) bark. The bark of this tree is crushed to obtain 100 ml juice which is then mixed with 100 ml water, making a 200 ml mixture. The medicine is given to the horse in dosage of 100 ml twice daily for three days, which works as a tonic and as a result the horse becomes strong and powerful. This medicine has no side effects.
