Native to and largely cultivated in the lowlands of Central America, Simarouba Glauca, more popularly known as ‘Paradise Tree’, and closer to home called ‘Lakshmi Taru’, is a wonder-plant in no small way. First introduced in Maharashtra in the 1960s, Lakshmi Taru has myriad uses, so much so, that every part of this tropical plant- including its oil, bark, and the fruit pulp- has great therapeutic properties. You’ll be pleasantly surprised at learning about some of its life-enriching and curative properties.

The crushed seeds of the plant can be used as anti-venom against snake-bites.
The oil and its sugar rich fruit-pulp are used in preparing beverages, and the shell is used to make activated-charcoal for fuel.
Saving Nature with Lakshmi Taru
Owning to its well-developed and dense root-system, and an evergreen canopy, the Paradise Tree’s impact on the nature is profound, in the sense that the tree goes a long way in preventing soil-erosion and depletion. This helps prevent floods and support microbial life by improving the quality of underground water.
Like any other tree, Laxmi Taru efficiently converts solar energy into biochemical energy, thus helping in wasteland restoration, and the reduction of overall carbon-footprint.
The dense, evergreen canopy of the tree is capable of housing within itself, a variety of fauna like birds and other organisms, providing them a safe and thriving haven from the harsh weather and predators, thus keeping the eco-system balanced.
The pulp and leaf-litter of the Paradise Tree are economically beneficial in manufacturing Vermi-Compost.
