Mushini Seeds: Poisonous Raw, Ayurvedic Elixir After Purification

• Mushini seeds (Nux Vomica), also known as 'Bishamusti', are highly poisonous if consumed directly.
• In Ayurveda, these seeds are purified with cow urine or ghee to transform them into potent medicines.
• Medicines derived from Mushini seeds are used to treat paralysis, nervous weakness, indigestion, joint pain, and male impotence.
• The Tribal Cooperative Society (GCC) collects Mushini seeds from tribals, paying 100 rupees per kg.
• Tribals are requesting a higher price of 150 rupees per kg, citing the difficulty of collection and unfair value for their labor.

Why It Matters: Mushini seeds are a powerful Ayurvedic medicine after purification, but fatal if consumed raw.
