Furthermore, research has shown that the constituents of Ashoka include flavonoids, saponins, glycosides, and tannins that offer antibacterial, anticancer, anti-fungal, uterotonic, anti-estrogenic, and anti-inflammatory properties. These features make the Ashoka tree an excellent ingredient for home remedies to treat various gynecological issues

Let the bark of the Ashoka tree boil in water for some time. Consume this drink twice a day to treat piles and reduce bleeding. Ashoka is believed to help in such cases because of an effect it has of lowering inflammatory responses.

Consuming the bark or leaves of the Ashoka tree can clear the digestive tract of parasitic worm infestations. Extracts of the tree can also help reduce bloating and provide pain relief.

The flavonoid fraction of the Ashoka flowers shows hypoglycemic and antihyperglycemic properties. This makes it valuable in the management of diabetes, as it helps lower or regulate glucose levels, which is also a key feature in diabetes drugs.
