Sugar cane plant has acquired
numerous sanskrit names for its sweetness and appearance. Our
Ayurveda acharyas praise the medicinal properties of Sugarcane as
follows.
Ikshavo raktapittaghnaa balyaa
vrishyaa kaphapradaaha |
Swaadupaakarasaaha snigdhaha guravo mutralaha himaha ||
Raktapittaghna:- Sugar cane has
the properties of normalizing vitiation of
blood
and pitta (bile). It rejuvenates liver. Because of this property
it is widely used in treating jaundice. It is, however, very
essential that the juice, must be clean and devoid of micro
organisms.
Balya: The sugar cane juice instantly energizes our
body and provides strength. Sugar cane is rich in iron and
carbohydrates. Hence it boosts energy straight away.
Vrishya: It acts as an aphrodisiac and increases
libido,
quality and
quantity of semen. It also helps in rectifying
erectile
dysfunction.
Kaphapradaha:
It increases kapha
and helps in expectoration of it in cough.
Mutrala: It acts as a diuretic and helps in
detoxifying kidneys.
As it has sweet, heavy and cooling properties it increases shukra
dhatu. Shukra dhatu is needed for male fertility. When shukra
dhatu increases it increases
sperm count,
sperm motility. Healthy shukra dhatu helps to reduce
erectile dysfunction and
impotence.
Sugarcane juice also increases lactation in nursing mothers. It
helps in relieving constipation.
