forever.
SEEDS – VRIKSHAYURVEDA
Iluppai can be propagated by seeds. This tree yields milk like Banyan.
LAMP WITH ILUPPAI OIL
At night, this oil should be used to burn lamps as it purifies atmosphere, reduces heart palpitations and
controls lungs problems. If a lamp is lit with its oil, it does not give out black smoke. So it was used
more in temples in olden days. Now this oil is used to make bio diesel.
