Ber, known as “Badara” in Ayurveda, is a delicious fruit and an effective herbal remedy against various diseases. This fruit is a rich source of vitamin C, B1 and B2.
Ber seed powder or Ber tea might help in promoting weight loss due to the presence of fibers and vitamin C that play a role in improving body metabolism and thereby promotes digestion. Eating Ber (Jujube fruit) is also considered to be good for diabetes due to its blood sugar lowering activity which further reduces the risk of diabetes related complications. Consumption of Ber on a regular basis provides relief from constipation by promoting bowel movements due to its laxative property.
Ber leaves can be externally applied to reduce fever due to its antipyretic (fever lowering) activity. Ber fruit powder along with honey can also be applied on the face in the form of a face mask to help manage skin infections and promote wound healing due to its antioxidant and strong healing properties.
Avoid eating Ber in cough and cold due to its cooling property. In case you have weak digestion, avoid excessive intake of Ber as it is heavy to digest and may cause abdominal discomfort and stomach pain.
