Jujube
It is said that when Adam landed on Earth, the first fruit that he consumed was Ziziphus jujuba (jujube) (ber in Urdu). The jujube fruit, cooked with sugar to make squash, is known as a thirst-quencher and nerve calmer to prevent nightmares. The jujube also is used for treating stomach worms. Jujube is an excellent medicine for stomach viruses. Jujube is best eaten with honey, which removes its side effects. Jujube leaves are also used for washing the dead body. Washing hair with jujube leaves instead of shampoo makes the hair shiny, soft, and long. The bark from the jujube yields glue, lacquer, and red coloring which is used for tanning and dye. Jujube honey is also used as a gentle laxative, especially by the elderly. The pit of the jujube fruit is used for killing tapeworms in the intestine. Ground jujube leaves are used to combat scorpion poisoning by putting a paste on the skin on the site of the sting. Jujube also stimulates the appetite and is eaten as a vegetable and as pickles, consumed for medicinal purpose. Marmalade, jam, and chutney made of jujube are used for liver and kidney diseases. Jujube leaves ground into a poultice with olive oil makes the wound heal more quickly. The gluey quality of jujube is utilized for stomach and intestinal burning. It is an excellent medicine against acidity and ulcers.
