Guest guest Posted September 15, 2004 Report Share Posted September 15, 2004 Chana (Cicer arietinum) is also called Bengal Gram - in Hindi and Urdu it is called Chana in Arabic it is called Hammoz - in Tamil it is Kadalai - Malayalam it is Katala. Chana is used as a very effective treatment for kwashiorkor in children - also for impotency - premature ejaculation - etc. Excess like most pulses causees gas (which can be controlled by the use of substances like hing) also because like most pulses it can cause stones (high oxalic acid) one should not overeat them. Black gram (Phaseolus radiatis) in Hindi and Urdu is called Urad or Urud - in Tamil it is Ullutham parapu - Malayalam it is Ulunu. It is related to the same pulse family as mung. It also is used for premature ejaculation and impotency - one old food used for these body weakness problems (thin semen, bells palsy, lumbago, etc.) is to eat wheat chappati and honey with black gram dal. It is often used for mental weakness like memory loss, schizophrenia, hysteria, etc. it has n=many useful qualaties for weaknesses of various types but being even more heavy than other pulses one must be careful if digestion is too weak as the oxalic acid problem is even greater in Urad and poor digestion can easily make this delicious food into a problem food. Always prepare with anti vata digesting substances such as hing. ayurveda, Shaukat Mahmood <shaukatmahmood2001> wrote: > Rani khana very muintersted member in the subject had given different description of "CHANA" which is very much correct in pakistani part of the sub continent.But dr panchals description is entierely diffrent. we know chana in english GRAM let us determine its name before going in its medical properties.I request dr panchal to describe if ossible with pics and more details shaukat > > > > > > vote. - Register online to vote today!
