The arrival of Durga pujo is marked by the beautiful aura of shiuli flowers, it is the seasonal flower of autumn, today morning I saw these pretty little flowers in our apartment garden and felt a little nostalgic about it.

Shiuli, also known as Parijat or Harsingar works as a great anti-pyretic. It cures various nauseous types of fever including malaria, dengue, and chikungunya.

Its medicinal benefits date back to the era where Ayurvedic herbs were the only remedies available for the cure to various diseases.

The decoction of the leaves shuili is widely used in Ayurvedic system of medicine for the treatment of internal worm infections, cough, sciatica, arthritis, fevers, various painful conditions and as laxative.

Due to its anti-arthritic properties, it helps to reduce inflammation and pain. Help treat dandruff, lice, vertigo, and anxiety symptoms, scurvy, and acidity. Additionally, it also treats high blood pressure, sciatica relieves menstrual cramps and is an antidote to snake bites in some cases, and also alleviates piles to a certain extent. It has strong antioxidants that fight against the detrimental effects of free radicals.

Recent studies suggest that Parijat leaf and bark extract are very useful to ameliorate fever instantly. It helps to increase platelet count in dengue and chikungunya fever.

The leaves can be cleaned and dipped in besan and shallow fried like pakora, it is one of the traditionally preferred recipe or home remedies for childhood pinworm and loss of appetite after chronic fever.

You can make tea also from the leaves, take two leaves of basil along with two parijat leaves and a flower and boil them in 1 glass of water, filter it and drink it after it cools down. You can add some honey or sugar to taste.
