MADHUCA INDICA
ILUPPAI (TAMIL) – VRIKSHAYURVEDA

The extract after taking its oil works as an insecticide and kills Tungro virus. It prevents bacteria. The
flowers are very sweet.

RAIN ATTRACTING TREES

Peepul, Banyan, Fig, Ichchi (Tamil), Mahua (Iluppai in Tamil), Sapota and Punnai (Tamil).

UNIQUE FLOWERS

The tree is capable of growing flowers sufficiently. People can store the flowers of this tree almost
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.
