Dried Haritaki Fruit (Terminalia Chebula)
IntroductionNative of Natural offers Premium Dried Haritaki Fruit (Terminalia chebula), one of the most revered and essential herbs in Ayurveda, where it is often called the “King of Medicines” or the “Remover of Diseases.” Haritaki is a foundational component of the famous Ayurvedic blend, Triphala.
The dried fruit is celebrated for its five out of six tastes (Pancha Rasa)—excluding salt—and its potent adaptogenic, laxative, and rejuvenating (Rasayana) properties. It is primarily used to support digestive health, detoxification, and overall bodily balance. The fruit contains high levels of tannins (chebulagic acid, gallic acid), which are responsible for its medicinal actions.
