Ayurvedic medicine maintains that asafetida is an effective remedy for pneumonia, bronchitis, nervous disorders, colic, bowel spasms and spasmodic coughing caused by whooping cough. It remains a recommendation among many for the treatment of intestinal parasites including worms. Some reports suggest that people suffering form candidiasis, chronic fatigue, flatulence and digestive weakness have noticed improvements when using the herb. Asafoetida is recommended as a treatment for the following conditions: Insect bites - Asafoetida's strong smell (which is more persistent than garlic) makes it an effective insect repellant from the body and skin. Nervous disorders - During the nineteenth century, asafoetida was one of the most commonly prescribed herbs for conditions such as hysteria as well as many symptoms that accompany mood swings and depression. Colic - Because it is a local stimulant of mucous membranes, particularly in the alimentary tract, asafoetida is helpful in minimizing flatulence and calming colic. It also works as a laxative medicine. High cholesterol - When taken in relatively high doses, asafoetida oil has been shown to lower cholesterol levels caused by high fat consumption. Irritable bowel syndrome - Asafoetida oil relieves gas buildup and irritation associated with irritable bowel syndrome. It also relaxes muscle spasms and digestive disturbances that occur with anxiety. Asafoetida is used as a tincture or powder. More Health Conditions and Topics
