Fig and Fig Tree Benefits
Common Names: Fig (English), Higo (Spanish), Figue (French), Feige (German), Fico (Italian).
Related Species: Cluster fig (Ficus racemosa), Sycomore Fig (Ficus sycomorus).
The fig is believed to be indigenous to western Asia and to have been distributed by man throughout the Mediterranean area. Remnants of figs have been found in excavations of sites traced to at least 5,000 B.C.
Following
are some common problems and ailments which can easily be cured from the use of figs:
Anaemia
Soak 2-3 dried figs in 1 cup water. Take them with milk for 1 month.
Constipation
Take fig either fresh or dried.
Hemmorrhoids (Piles)
Clean 2-3 figs thoroughly with hot water to easily digest them later. Soak them overnight in cold water and take 1x early the next morning and 1x in the evening. Repeat 3-4 weeks. Take the fig together with the water used to soak them as some of the nutrients may have transferred to the water.
Corn
The milky juice of green figs help to soften corn that has been suffered for a long time.
Bladder Stones
Boil 2 figs in 1 cup of water. Drink daily for a month.
Abscesses, boils
