Lauki or bottle gourd juice has a host of health benefits and it has been a part of traditional home remedies in India. The vegetable, often not liked by many, can help in treating asthma, fever, cough, discomfort, and other ailments. Lauki is a good source of vitamins C, vitamin B and other minerals.

“Lauki juice acts as a natural cleanser and removes toxicity from the body,” she penned in her post. She advised to apply it on their scalp in order to get rid of baldness along with premature greying of hairs. “Bottle gourd is a cardio-tonic & diuretic. It is cold in nature. It is also used to treat pain, ulcer, fever, and respiratory disorders as it balances Vata and Pitta,” she added.
