Harsingar or Night jasmine plant is native to India. Night Jasmine has been considered to be very sacred as per the Hindu mythology. Parts of this plant (leaves, flowers, seeds and bark) are used to treat fever, rheumatism, parasitic worms, arthritis, joint pain, cough and sciatica. Night jasmine leaves possess anti-arthritic, analgesic, anti-viral, anti-inflammatory, antipyretic, anti-fungal, hypotensive, antispasmodic, and respiratory stimulant properties. The leaves of this tree have anti-leishmanial property.
The leaves juice is bitter in taste but works as a great tonic. The paste prepared from leaves is useful in treating fever, high blood pressure and diabetes. The juice of the leaves has expectorant properties which cure cough. The decoction of leaves has been extensively used by Ayurvedic doctors for many years for the treatment of arthritis, sciatica, intestinal worms and as a laxative.
The white-orange aromatic Harsingar flowers tones the stomach, prevents gas formation and bowels and prevents excess bile secretion by the liver. The corolla tube has a bright orange color due to a compound known as nyctanthin. This compound is similar to the coloring substance found in saffron. The powder of stem bark is useful in treating joint pain and malaria.
