Benefits of Kankadol. During the rainy season, the biggest fear of people living on the banks of village-countryside, farm-barn and forests is of snakes. Anywhere a sudden snake comes out and if unfortunately bites, the situation becomes serious. In such a situation, people often resort to home remedies, but there is also a plant among these tips, which has been recognized from Ayurveda to scientific research – its name is Kankar. It is also known as Kakoda or Kantola in many places.
Ayurvedic recognition and scientific confirmation
In Ayurveda, special mention of medicinal properties of Kankadol is found. It has been used not only on snake bites but also to reduce the poison of many more toxic animals. In a report by the National Institute of Health, it has been described as full of poisonous destitute qualities. According to the report, the fresh leaves or roots of this plant are effective in neutralizing the poison.
Apart from this, in a research conducted by doctors, it was found that Kankdol has been used for centuries in traditional medical practice. Such nutrients are found in this plant that help in reducing the effects of poison within the body and removes it out. This is the reason why it is also called natural antvenam (poisoning).
Many ancient Vaidyas believe that the leaves of Kankdol have very sharp effects on the poison of the snake. If it is used at the right time, then it can help in deforming the poison in just 5 minutes. But the most important thing to note is that this is just a primary aid. It can never be considered an alternative to the antivenam found in the hospital. The first and important step on snake bite should always be that without losing time, go to the nearest hospital. Anthevenam injection available with doctors is the complete and safe treatment of poison. Plants like Kankdol can only help until the victims reach the hospital.
Which areas are more useful in?
People working in villages, river-drains and fields near rural areas, forests often struggle with the threat of snakes. In such a situation, if people have knowledge of plants like Kankadol, then they can use it at the primary level. Especially during the monsoon season, when the risk of snakes increases, then such domestic information can prove to be a life saving.
If you are ever in a situation where the snake has bitten and the hospital is far away, then take fresh kankdol leaves. Grind them well and apply it on the wound. Also, a little juice can also be drunk. This can slow the spread of poison. But this remedy is only to give time to reach the hospital, not the final treatment.
Caution most important
Often people become dependent on home remedies only by coming to the words of the elders of the house, which can prove to be dangerous. Remember, on the bite of any toxic snake, it is most important to take medical help. Home remedies can be helpful for only a few minutes.
conclusion
Nature has given us many amazing medicinal plants, but they also have limits. The leaves of Kankadol definitely provide initial relief on snake poison, but only doctors can give safe treatment. So if you live in forest, farm or areas where there is a risk of snakes, then it can be beneficial to keep the knowledge of this plant, but the final trust should always be on medical treatment.
