They are also used in Ayurveda, which is an Indian system of medicine that dates back to 2500 BC. The leaves are used to treat skin problems such as eczema, psoriasis and acne as well as other ailments such as diabetes, high blood pressure and even cancer!

HOW TO USE ASHOKA BARK?

Ingredients:

• 4 cups of water
• 1 cup of bark from the Ashoka tree
• - A pot or saucepan
• - A strainer/colander
• - A bottle to store your medicine in

Step 1: Boil the bark of Ashoka tree in water until the volume of liquid reduces to one-fourth of its original volume. This should take about 20 minutes. When it's done, strain the liquid into another pot and discard the bark pieces. You now have your Ashoka kwatha! Pour it into a bottle and store it in the fridge until you're ready to use it—it'll keep for about two weeks if you don't use too much at once (otherwise, just add more water).

Step 2: Take 8-10 teaspoons of this Ashoka kwatha with a glass of water twice per day between lunch and dinner for up to 2 weeks.
