GROUNDNUT USES

Excessive Bleeding

Several groups of researchers in England have reported using groundnuts or groundnut products in the treatment of hemophilia, an inherited blood disease which causes haemorrhage. Beneficial results have also been reported from the use of groundnuts in severe cases of epistaxis or nose bleeding and in cases of excessive bleeding during menstruation in women.

Obesity

Groundnuts are considered beneficial in the treatment of obesity. Experiments have shown that weight can be reduced by eating a handful of roasted groundnuts with tea or coffee without sugar an hour before lunch time. It reduces appetite and thus reduces the weight gradually.

Diabetes

Groundnuts are valuable in diabetes. Eating a handful of groundnuts daily by diabetics will not only prevent mal‑nutrition, particularly the deficiency of niacin, but also checks the development of vascular complications.

Diarrhoea

Groundnuts are also useful in diarrhoea, especially chronic diarrhoea which is more frequent immediately after meals. The patients can benefit greatly by drinking goat's milk in which lemon is squeezed with a handful of fresh roasted groundnuts. This type of diarrhoea is caused due to nicotinic acid deficiency. The groundnuts, which has required quantity of niacin, are valuable in this disease.
