Like oomatham poo, which is a type of poisonous flower, it still has the power to kill some poisonous bites. Now you get the point.

The poo, pattai, and illai (leaves) all have medicinal properties. As many of them know, there is no home treatment for a dog bite, but on the village side, this oomatham poo is used for dog bites.

1. Treats respiratory problems:
Most respiratory problems are caused by asthma, bronchitis, COVID-19, lung cancer, pneumonia, influenza, the common cold, etc. Oomatham poo has the power to treat respiratory problems. It kills bacteria, viruses, or any microorganism that causes respiratory problems. But still, it’s poisonous, so consult an Ayurvedic or Siddha doctor about its use.
2. Cures skin wounds:
Skin wounds generally happen to everyone after falling or affecting any skin disease. Oomatham poo is very effective in treating skin wounds. On the village side, these flowers and leaves are used for treating skin wounds. So using a small amount of oomatham poo powder on an affected area is better. But applying externally is better than taking internally.
3. Treats insects bites:
Oomatham poo is a natural medicine for treating insect bites. In some villages, this flower is still used for treating insect bites. It reduces inflammation and heals the bitten area. Some insect bites cause serious health problems, so use oomatham poo just for emergencies or as first aid treatment, and consult a doctor for insect bites.
4. Reduces bone pain:
Bone pain is caused by over lifting, age, bone fractures, weak bone health, etc. Oomatham poo is a natural body pain reliever. So, massaging oomatham poo powder with eucalyptus oil helps to relieve bone pain, joint pain, leg pain, and body pain.
5. Treats asthma:
Asthma is one of the respiratory diseases that are caused by smoking, pollution, dust allergies, etc. It affects the lungs. Some village people use oomatham poo and leaves to treat asthma. Inhaling a very small amount of oomatham poo or leaf powder purifies the lungs. Finally, it’s good for asthma patients. (But don’t use large amounts and consult an ayurvedic doctor before use.)
6. Improve hair growth:
There are many natural products out there to improve your hair growth, like karisilankanni, hibiscus, karboga arisi, etc. But many of them don’t know that oomatham poo is very effective for hair growth. Massaging oomatham poo powder with coconut oil reduces hair fall and treats chemically damaged hair.
