Litchi's resemble like testicles and are very good in orchitis or
hydrocele problems. We have experience in helping cure hydrocele
very effectively without the need for surgery, through the natural
Pancha Bhoota healing. We advocate the use of litchi fruits for
this disease apart from other dietary suggestions.
Ingested in moderate amounts, the lychee is said to
relieve coughing and to have a beneficial effect on gastralgia,
tumors and enlargements of the glands. It improves digestion.
However excessive consumption of raw lychees causes fever and
nosebleed. According to legends, ancient people have consumed from
300 to 1,000 per day.
In China, the seeds are credited with an analgesic action and
they are given in neuralgia and orchitis and hydrocele. A tea of the fruit peel
is taken to overcome smallpox eruptions and diarrhea. In India,
the seeds are powdered and, because of their astringency,
administered in intestinal troubles, and they have the reputation
there, as in China, of relieving neuralgic pains. Decoctions of
the root, bark and flowers are gargled to alleviate ailments of
the throat. Lychee roots have shown activity against one type of
tumor in experimental animals in the United States Department of
Agriculture/National Cancer Institute Cancer Chemotherapy
Screening Program.
