കടലാടി

 കേരളത്തിലെ വീട്ടുപറമ്പിലും പരിസരങ്ങളിലും കാണപ്പെടുന്ന ഒരു ചെറുസസ്യമാണ് കടലാടി.വിഷഹരവും നീർവാഴ്ചയും ഇല്ലാതാക്കുന്നതാണ് ഈ സസ്യം.അക്കിരാന്തെസ് ആസ്പെര എന്നാണ് കടലാടിയുടെ ശാസ്ത്രനാമം.അരമീറ്ററോളം ഉയരത്തിൽ വളരുന്ന ഒരു ഏകവർഷി കുറ്റിച്ചെടിയാണിത്.വലുതും ചെറുതും ഇടചേരുന്ന ഇലകൾ സന്ധികളിൽ വിന്യസിച്ചിച്ചിരിക്കുന്നു.പരുപരുത്ത ഫലങ്ങൾ മനുഷ്യരുടെയും മൃഗങ്ങളുടെയും ശരീരത്തിൽ പറ്റിയാണ് വിതരണം ചെയ്യപ്പെടുന്നത്.കടലാടി സമൂലം ഔഷധ യോഗ്യമാണ്.

*കടലാടി സമൂലം കഷായമാക്കി രണ്ടുനേരവും സേവിച്ചാൽ ശരീരത്തിൽ ശമിക്കും.

*കടലാടിയില ഉണക്കിപ്പൊടിച്ച് തേനിൽ സേവിച്ചാൽ  അതിസാരം ശമിക്കും.

*കടലാടി സമൂലമെടുത്ത് കരിച്ച് ചാരം കലക്കിയ വെള്ളത്തിൻ്റെ തെളിനീർ കുടിച്ചാൽ വയറുവേദന ശമിക്കും.

അകത്തി

 അഗസ്തിചീര എന്നും അകത്തി എന്നും അറിയപ്പെടുന്ന ഈ ചെറുവൃക്ഷത്തിൻ്റെ ശാസ്ത്ര നാമം സെസ്ബാനിയ ഗ്രാൻഡി ഫ്ലോറ.6-9 മീറ്റർ ഉയരത്തിൽ വളരുന്ന ഈ വൃക്ഷത്തിൻ്റെ ഇലയും പൂവും ഇലക്കറിയായി ഉപയോഗിക്കുന്നതിനാലാണ് ചീര എന്ന വിശേഷണം ഉണ്ടായത്.പൂവിൻ്റെ നിറത്തെ ആധാരമാക്കി അകത്തിയെ വെള്ള,ചുവപ്പ് എന്നു രണ്ടായി തരംതിരിക്കാറുണ്ട്.

അകത്തിയുടെ ഇലയിൽ ധാരാളം പ്രോട്ടീനും കാത്സ്യവും വിറ്റാമിനുകളും അടങ്ങിയിട്ടുണ്ട്.ആയൂർവ്വേദ വിധിപ്രകാരം തിക്തരസവും ശീതവീര്യവുമാണ് ഇതിനുള്ളത്.വ്യക്ഷത്തിൻ്റെ തൊലി,ഇല,പൂവ്,കായ ഇവയെല്ലാം ഔഷധയോഗ്യമാണ്.

ഉപയോഗരീതികൾ

*എല്ലുകളുടെ വളർച്ചക്ക് കുട്ടികൾക്കു നൽകാവുന്ന ഒന്നാന്തരം ഇലക്കറിയാണ്  അകത്തി.

*അകത്തി ഇല ഉപ്പുചേർക്കാതെ തോരനാക്കിയോ നെയ്യിൽ വറുത്തോ കഴിക്കുന്നത് ജീവകം  'എ 'യുടെ കുറവുമൂലം ഉള്ള നേത്ര രോഗങ്ങൾ ശമിക്കും.
