Benefits:
Hiṅgu (Ferula asafoetida), commonly known as asafoetida, is a powerful digestive stimulant and carminative in Ayurveda. Known for its strong aroma, Hiṅgu is used to relieve bloating, gas, and abdominal pain by balancing Vata and Kapha doshas. It kindles Agni (digestive fire), clears Āma (toxins), and supports regular bowel movements. It’s also used in managing menstrual pain and respiratory congestion due to its warming and penetrating nature.
