EPHEDRA VULGARIS (SOMLATA) FOR INDIGESTION

SOMLATA (EPHEDRA VULGARIS) Verses Indigestion--Indigestion caused by liver disorders is very easily & effectively relieved through its use because it tones up the liver resulting in complete digestion of the ingested food material. Other similar derangement's like dyspepsia etc. are also cured through its use. It is also fairly effective for jaundice. The use of its powder or infusion generates & stimulates flow of bile, improves digesting capacity & facilitates evacuation of fecal matter. Thus it gives a sense of relief & well-being to the patients suffering from impaired digestion. Tibetan Lamas (Buddhist Monks) use it with unflinching faith based upon Vedic scriptures & consider it to be containing nectarine properties. Once, a friend of mine had come over to me with an idea of using fresh juice of Ephedra & I sent him to the place of its origin, some 80 miles away, but he could not withstand severe cold of that place & returned forthwith. On his return he brought several Ephedra plants with him & continued to use them rubbed in water for good many days. During this time he informed me that he felt a peculiar sense of joviality & pleasantness & a vigorous inclination to work through its effect. He had lately been taking only one meal daily as two normal meals a day deranged his digestion but since he used Ephedra Vulgaris (Som Lata) he had begun to have two square meals every day without feeling the least trouble whatsoever. EPHEDRA VULGARIS (SOM LATA) is also very effective in the cure for all kinds of coughs. Given with powdered Turmeric twice a day it provides certain relief.
