Punica granatum (Botanical name) Pomegranate (English) Anar (Hindi); Dadima (Sanskrit); Daalimbe (Kannada); Maadhulai (Tamil); Matalam (Malayalam)
"Ek Anar, Sau Bimar", is a well known saying in Hindi, which means that a single pomegranate can take care of hundred ailments. This medicinally imporant plant is highly recommended as a plant to be grown in the herbal home gardens. It is a small thorny deciduous tree with narrow elliptic leaves. The tree bears large, scarlet red tubular flowers and round fruits with woody rind and seeds wrapped in rose-coloured, juicy, edible aril. The fruit at times is referred to as the many-seeded, juicy fruit, rich in its medicinal properties. It is found wild in subtropical Himalayan tract and is also cultivated throuhgout India.
How to Grow in your Garden : The plant should be raised in the home herbal garden for its flower buds being very important from primary health care point of view. One plant, grown in the ground, is adequate for the purpose. A fully-grown tree may require a space of about 4 square metres. It also makes a good and attractive pot plant but then from medicinal use point of view, it may serve only a limited purpose.
Care regime : The plant needs only occasional watering.
Part used : Flower buds (in diarrhoea), fruits (in diarrhoea, eye problems and pregnancy care) and fruit rind (in acidity, diarrhoea, eye problems, vomiting and worms).
Collection of Flower Buds and Fruits : Flower buds can be plucked with hand when required. Similarly, fruits can be plucked when ripe. Fruit rind of the used fruits should be dried in shade and kept in stock for use.
For Acidity : Make a decoctation of 20 grams of the rind of fresh fruits. Take half cup of this decotation mixed with 1-2 teaspoon of honey thrice a day for 7 days.
For Diarrhoea :

q Fruit rind : Boil 3 long piece of fruit rind in 4 cups of water till the quantity reduces to 1 cup. Strain the decoction and take ½ cup twice daily in the morning and evening until cured.
q Fruit : Extract juice from an average sized pomegranate fruit. Take this juice daily, especially when there is blood in the stool, till bleeding stops.
q Fruit rind and Thungihullu : Prepare decoction with equal quantity of pomegranate fruit rind and ‘thungihullu' tubers. Take 1 cup of this decoction twice daily on empty stomach to arrest loose watery stools.
For Vomiting : Take 1 teaspoon of rind powder with a teaspoon of curd 4-5 times daily for 2 days. For Children, use ½ teaspoon of the powder with 2 teaspoons of curd of 4-5 times a day.
