अपराजिता फूल के फायदे | Aparajita tea or Blue Tea | Butterfly Pea Tea | Himanshu Bhatt

Summary

Himanshu Bhatt discusses Aparajita, also called Blue Pea, and describes traditional uses of its flowers, leaves, roots, and seeds. He says the plant may support antioxidant activity, heart and brain health, concentration, memory, sleep, blood-sugar control, weight loss, and digestion. These are presented as potential benefits; the video does not establish them as proven treatments.

Uses and preparations described

• Joint pain: Apply a paste of the leaves to the affected area and let it dry. The presenter also describes taking 1 gram of dried-root powder with warm water in the morning and evening.
• Skin concerns: He suggests mixing ash from a burnt root with pure white butter and applying it to the face. For oily skin, he says to use water instead of butter. He also suggests applying a paste made from roughly 8–10 flowers as a face mask, then rinsing it off.
• Hair and scalp: Grind the flower, leaves, seeds, and root with water into a paste and apply it like henna.
• Headache or migraine: The presenter describes extracting juice from the pod and root and putting two drops in the nose two to three times daily. This is a medicinal recommendation from the video, not a procedure to try without qualified medical guidance.
• Gas and digestion: He suggests powdering roasted seeds and taking half a gram twice daily with goat’s milk or warm water. For indigestion and acidity, he describes taking half a gram of dried-root powder twice daily with cow’s milk or ghee. He cautions against milk for people with a milk allergy or lactose intolerance.
• Tea: Wash 3–4 flowers and steep them in a cup of boiled water until the water turns blue. Drink it warm or cooled. Ginger, black pepper, or honey may be added; lemon changes the tea’s color. The presenter recommends drinking it plain when using it as a health tonic.

Growing and safety notes

The video says the plant can be grown at home, with March and April suggested as planting times. It grows like a vine. Fresh flowers can be used for tea, or dried for later use.

The presenter advises pregnant people and those taking blood-thinning medication not to use the tea, and says not to exceed two cups per day.

Because the video describes medicinal uses and dosing, check with a qualified healthcare professional before using the plant—especially if pregnant, taking medication, or managing a health condition.
