Whenever an Indian hears the word 'Bhang', he/she thinks of the mildly intoxicating substance. During one of the biggest festivals of Hindu religion 'Mahashivratri', Bhang is even offered as a religious offering to Lord Shiva while during the festival of Holi, it is being served as a milky and buttery drink. The intoxication caused by Bhang attracts many people but only a few people know about the other good things this traditional intoxicant can do.
