Munakka

Munakka (raisins / kismis / kishmish / किशमिश) is known as the “Tree of Life” because of its regenerative ability. It has a sweet taste and is generally used as dry fruit, mostly for medicinal purposes. Munakka is useful for managing constipation due to its laxative property and helps to control acidity due to its cooling property. It is effective in dry cough and respiratory tract inflammation due to its cough suppressant and soothing properties. Munakka also maintains blood pressure levels by increasing nitric oxide in the blood which helps to widen narrowed blood vessels thereby improving blood flow. It can either be taken in dried form or soaked overnight to improve digestion. Applying Munakka paste over wounds helps in faster healing due to its anti-inflammatory and antimicrobial properties. Munakka face mask can be applied on the skin to prevent wrinkles and aging due to its antioxidant property.
