Who doesn’t know about Perungayam or Hing’s health benefits and medicinal uses, especially women at home? I still remember the winter season of 1998 when I visited my native village with my family. My daughter who was about 1-year old experiencing stomach pain at night and was crying continuously. It is difficult to get related medicine in remote areas of my native place at night. Then my grandmother suggested my wife use a Hing solution upon her stomach. To my surprise, she stopped crying slept well throughout the night. How can I forget that moment and since then I was very fond of this ayurvedic medicinal herb and use the same even after returning to Delhi. A number of people also use perungayam for many health issues and to solve skin problems like pimples, boils, black spots, etc. It is known by different names such as Devil’s dung and foods of God. In spite of this, in different languages, it is known by different names. Some of it is given below.
