Arloo Chilka - Arlu Chhal - Shyonaka - Ailanthus Excelsa

Aralu is also known as Ailanthus Excelsa, and one of its common names is "sona patha." It is a member of the Simarubaceae family. It's a large tree with a strong odour and a bitter taste. 

The Herb's Special Activity and Common Properties:

Aralu is high in dietary fibres, and It is known to have digestive properties and to improve gut functions.

It improves digestive strength, allowing ama to be dissolved and digested by the body. It also stimulates digestive fire, reducing the formation of ama in the first place.

Aralu has a general detoxifying effect on the body due to its bitter and astringent taste as well as its cooling properties. It aids in the suppression and reduction of inflammation in the body caused by various infections such as bacterial, viral, fungal, moulds, and so on. 

According to Ayurveda, the abdominal region can function normally when it is free of swelling or inflammation. Also, the majority of diseases, whether minor or severe enough to cause death, are the result of an early disruption in gut functions. 

Aralu has the ability to restore and stabilise. As a result, it is extremely beneficial in reducing stool frequency in diarrhoea and dysentery. Arab., especially in dysentery where there is a lot of mucous secretion along with stools, can help to cleanse the infection and reduce mucous secretions. It also relieves bloating and abdominal pain caused by diarrhoea and dysentery. 

Worm infestations are common in children and infants due to their proclivity to put everything in their mouth. Aralu can aid in the removal of worms from the intestines of such children.

Aralu's stabilising effect is put to use in the postpartum period. It is used in this setting to reduce bleeding and hasten healing of the uterine musculature so that the mother can quickly recover and feel normal and healthy. 

Similarly, in females suffering from excessive uterine or vaginal bleeding, such as menorrhagia, fibroids, or endometriosis, Aralu can be administered in the form of a bark or leaf decoction to provide immediate relief.
