Palash

Scientific Name:

Butea monosperma

Palash thrives in well-drained soil with full sun and moderate watering. This plant attracts pollinators like bees and butterflies, offering shelter for wildlife and contributing to ecosystem biodiversity. The flowers and leaves are used in traditional medicine to treat skin diseases, wounds, and respiratory conditions, thanks to their anti-inflammatory and antimicrobial properties. The gum from the tree is also utilized in traditional medicine and occasionally in the production of incense. Palash is valued for its ecological and medicinal significance, as well as its vibrant, eye-catching flowers.
