 Imagine what the world would be without the trees? Trees have always been considered sacred in all the religions. In the Upnishads and Vedas there are instances of people worshipping trees. Even the God and goddesses have high regards for the trees. Among all the trees the PEEPAL tree holds a very important place and even today is worshipped throughout the country. In ancient times trees were the only means to fulfil all the entire needs of humans. But in today’s materialistic world, when people want to have all the comforts and have made the concrete houses for themselves with all the facilities attached, the trees are loosing respect and honour. One should not forget the role of trees in the life. We can not abandon nature, the trees, the vegetation, and the flora and fauna because we require them for our sustenance, they are our saviour.




In this article we will throw light how Peepal tree is so important to us and about its Medicinal properties. The four trees –Peepal, Gooler, Banyan, and Pakad are called to be the storehouse of Sun’s rays. The wood of these trees is considered very auspicious for Havans in Indian scriptures. Peepal tree has been given the prime importance among all these trees and worshipped even today. The reason is right from the root to its leaves; the tree contains the medicinal values and cures many diseases. That was the reason our ancient sages recognized the importance of this tree and declared- “Peepal tree is the abode of Gods and Goddesses” the tree should never be harmed as our Trinity –Brahma, Vishnu, and Mahesh make their home on this sacred tree. In Bhagvad Gita, Lord Krishana called Peepal tree his own image- “Ashvathah Sarvvrikshanam”.



5- Peepal Jadi works wonderfully in the situation when a person is bitten by the snake and poison spreads all over his body, no medicine works and the person is about to die. In this condition without telling anyone(Secrecy should be maintained) take two twigs of peepal tree (of 4 fingers length) peel them with a knife and put these twigs near the ears of the patient of both sides, keep holding them tightly, because the poison in patient’s body pulls the Jadi and Jadi Pulls the poison. If the hold is not tight the Jadi may go inside the skin or in the ear of the patient and with the mere touch of Jadi the patient will start crying. When all the poison is sucked by the Jadi it stops working. Peepal Jadi can be kept for long by drying it up in the sun light and can be used in the time of need.
