General Information

Common Name: Bahera, Bibhitaki

Beleric Myrobalan is a large, fast-growing deciduous tree with a large, globose crown; it can grow up to 50 metres tall, though it is usually smaller in cultivation. The tree has long been used in Indian herbal medicine, the fruits being gathered from the wild and from cultivation. The tree is cultivated everywhere in India because of its fruits and the tannin-rich bark.

Benefits & Uses

The fruit contains anthraquinones and tannins. It is anthelmintic, astringent (especially when ripe), digestive, tonic and laxative (especially when unripe). The fruit is often used to treat upper respiratory tract infections that cause symptoms of sore throats, hoarseness and coughs. Externally, the fruit is used to make a lotion for sore eyes. The sour fruits are one of the ingredients of ‘triphala’, an Ayurvedic rejuvenative, laxative tonic based on this species plus the fruits of Phyllanthus emblica and Terminalia chebula.
