PLM Chef’s potion (phlegm medicine)

Dawa-ul-Balgham is one of the key medicines in traditional medicine, especially used to treat diseases caused by phlegm and problems related to cold and dampness in the body. This medicine is a combination of thyme, black seed, mastic, agarwood, and honey, which has been prescribed for centuries to treat various diseases and its effectiveness has been proven.

Characteristics and properties of Dawa-ul-Balgham:

• Phlegm is one of the four bodily fluids that can lead to various problems if it increases too much. This phlegm usually accumulates in the digestive tract and causes bloating, swelling, heartburn, stomach pain, and indigestion. By raising the temperature of the digestive tract, Dawa-ul-Bhalgam eliminates all these complications caused by cold and increased phlegm.

• Obesity is a symptom of increased phlegm, which is caused by increased cold and dampness in the body. This medicine can help reduce weight and improve metabolic status by reducing the amount of phlegm in the body.

Compositions and properties of the plants in Duwa-ul-Bhalgham:

1. Thyme (Thymus vulgaris):

   • Thyme is a medicinal plant that has antibacterial, anti-inflammatory, and antispasmodic properties. It is used in traditional medicine to relieve digestive problems and aid digestion.

2. Black seed (Nigella sativa):

   • Black seed is known as a plant with anti-inflammatory, antimicrobial and immune system-boosting properties. It is used in traditional medicine to treat diseases related to diabetes and obesity. Studies have shown that black seed can reduce blood glucose and LDL levels.

3. Mastaki (Pistacia lentiscus):

   • Mastaki has anti-inflammatory and analgesic properties and helps improve digestive function. It is also effective in treating stomach problems and bloating.

4. Acorn (Carum copticum):

   • Agarwood is known as an anti-flatulent and digestive herb. It can help reduce bloating, swelling, and improve digestive system function.

5. Honey:

   • Honey has anti-inflammatory and antimicrobial properties and is used in traditional medicine to boost the immune system and improve digestive problems.

Clinical studies and scientific evidence:

• A clinical study on black seed examined the effects of the herb on people with metabolic syndrome (which includes conditions such as obesity and diabetes). The results showed that black seed could significantly reduce glucose and LDL levels, indicating the herb’s effectiveness in treating diabetes and related conditions.

• Another study examined the effects of thyme in combination with exercise on fatty liver. The results showed that after two weeks of taking thyme supplements along with exercise, liver enzymes such as ALT, AST, ALP, as well as cholesterol, triglycerides, and low-density lipoprotein (LDL) levels were significantly reduced. This study suggests that thyme may be beneficial in the treatment of fatty liver.

Conclusion:

Combining herbs that are effective in treating problems caused by increased phlegm, Dowa-ol-Balgham can help improve digestive function, reduce bloating, swelling, and stomach pain, and also help with weight loss. In addition, clinical evidence shows that the herbs that make up this medicine are also effective in treating metabolic diseases such as diabetes and fatty liver.
