Asafoetida is used as a flavoring agent in food and as a traditional medicine for many diseases in many parts of the world. Asafoetida (Ferula asafoetida) is an oleo-gum-resin obtained from the stems of Ferula plants belonging to the family Umbelliferae. Asafoetida has a strong, tenacious and sulfurous odor. Nowadays it is a popular ingredient in the Indian cuisine, most probably because its odor is reminiscent of the flavor of garlic and onion, two sprouting vegetables, as well as meat. Asafoetida is traditionally used for the treatment of different diseases such as

  • whooping cough
  • asthma
  • ulcers
  • epilepsy
  • stomachache
  • flatulence
  • bronchitis
  • intestinal parasites
  • antispasmodic
  • weak digestion
  • and influenza.

One way to use this fabulous gum is to dissolve some hing (its other name) in water and drink it daily. Or you can prepare a paste using asafoetida and water and apply on your chest. You can also mix asafoetida and dry ginger powder along with some honey. Consume this mixture to get relief from respiratory issues. Asafoetida is known to be a natural blood thinner and may help in lowering blood pressure levels. It is power-packed with coumarin, a compound that aids in improving blood flow, thereby preventing the formation of clots. Of course, do not use if you are taking blood thinners already. As with any herb always thoroughly research before using and if taking prescribed drugs, have a chat with your GP first. For bad period pains asafoetida may come to your rescue by alleviating the pain and cramps in the lower abdomen and back. Being a natural blood thinner, it helps blood flow smoothly without hampering any part of your body. It also boosts progesterone secretion that promotes easy blood flow, thus providing relief from pain. Mix a pinch of asafoetida, fenugreek powder and a pinch of salt in a cup of buttermilk and consume it during periods. Asafoetida has anti-inflammatory properties that reduce inflammation of the blood vessels in the head, which in turn reduces headaches.
