| Distribution | It is a large deciduous tree belonging to the Combretaceae family, commonly found on plains and lower hills across South and Southeast Asia. It is also cultivated as an avenue tree in these regions. | |
| Use | In Ayurvedic medicine, Terminalia bellirica, known as Bibhitaki, is a key ingredient in Triphala, a popular herbal formulation. Its fruit pulp is used for its astringent and laxative properties, often prescribed with salt and long pepper for throat and chest infections. The kernel is sometimes applied externally to treat inflammation. Bibhitaki is also mentioned in ancient texts like the Charaka Samhita, where it is credited with promoting longevity, intellect, and strength. Due to its medicinal benefits, it is referred to as Anila-ghnaka, meaning "wind-killing" in Sanskrit. | |
