Abstract :
The fluorosis is one of the geogenic
contaminated drinking water borne diseases caused by
the fluoride contamination in ground water. In India,
11.5 million people are at high risk due to fluorosis such
as dental fluorosis and skeletal fluorosis across the 132
districts of 21 states. In Jharkhand mainly two districts,
Garhwa and Palamu have the fluoride content in drinking
water. So many technologies are available to remove the
fluoride from the drinking water but not affordable to
the poor people due to high cost. In place to this
technology food substances should be included in the diet
chart to combat the fluorosis so that poor people also
access to get solution. We should include the foods rich
in calcium or induces the absorption of calcium or
directly eliminate the fluoride from our body in poor
people diet to combat the fluorosis. In Jharkhand, the
most affordable food is the green leafy vegetables called
as “Cassia tora” or locally called “Chakor Ki Bhanji”. It
is abundantly found in the Garhwa & Palamu districts of
Jharkhand near the road side and mainly during the
rainy seasons. This is the most affordable food to combat
the fluorosis in Jharkhand. The use of “chakor ki bhaji”
as vegetable is also in practices of the people. It would be
the opportunity to minimize the menace of fluorosis in
Jharkhand by using the leaves of Cassia Tora as
vegetables and need to make aware people for use as
alternatives of medicines. This leafy vegetable is most
affordable food for poor people to minimize the fluorosis
and also the farming of this medicinal plant in waste land
would increase the income of farmers and also may be
the commercial options for farmers as well as agrienterpreneur.
