Here are Health Benefits of Curry Leaves Disclosed by Nutritionist Avni Kaul

Curry leaves, which commonly known as Kadi Patta, are popular in India because of their aroma and striking taste. The curry leaves tree was originally grown in India for its aromatic leaves which have a unique and distinct flavour. Curry leaves are an essential ingredient in Kadhi Pakoda, which is a popular delicacy in several parts of the country.

Curry leaves can be added to lots of dishes. Nutritionist Avni says that there is much more to curry leaves besides their distinct flavour. These leaves have several health benefits too. They are a good source of Vitamin A, B, C, and B2.

Curry leaves are also known to be good sources of iron and calcium. Because of this reason, these leaves are used as part of several traditional medicines to treat calcium deficiency and several other conditions.

Let us take a look at the blog by India’s top nutritionist and dietician, Avni Kaul, where she writes about some of the health benefits of Curry Leaves aka the Kadi Patta.

It Helps in Treating Several Digestive System Related Disorders

Kadi Patta can be used for treating an upset stomach. You need to grind dried curry leaves and add it to chaach or buttermilk. Drink it on an empty stomach for dealing with conditions like diarrhea, constipation. Raw and tender curry leaves can also be consumed on an empty stomach. Curry leaves are said to help bowel movement and stimulate digestive enzymes.

Removes Bacteria

Most illnesses are caused by infections or because of oxidative damage in our bodies. Curry leaves act as a natural treatment for such infections. These leaves are rich in carbazole alkaloids which are compounds having antibacterial, anti-cancer, and anti-inflammatory properties.

Curry leaves also contain the compound linalool which provides these leaves their aroma. This compound has bacteria-killing properties. It also helps in removing harmful free radicals from the body.

Assists Diabetics

Curry leaves are known to reduce blood glucose levels efficiently. They lend protection to insulin-producing cells of the pancreas and prevent damage done by free radicals. It is probably because of minerals such as copper, iron, zinc, and iron that curry leaves perform this function. Thus, curry leaves can be helpful for diabetics.
