Behadal(Terminalia bellirica) churna 200gm by manikarnika aushadhalya

Detailed Ingredient Information

• Behada Fruit Rind (Terminalia bellirica): The 200gm pack contains the finely ground pericarp (outer shell) of the Bibhitaki fruit, with the seeds strictly removed.

• Chemical Profile: It is exceptionally rich in tannins (up to 25%), gallic acid, ellagic acid, and ethyl gallate, which provide its potent astringent and antimicrobial properties.

• Ayurvedic Properties: It possesses a Kashaya Rasa (astringent taste), Ushna Virya (hot potency), and Madhura Vipaka (sweet post-digestive effect), primarily targeting the lungs, throat, and intestines.

Key Therapeutic Benefits

• Expectorant and Bronchodilator: It effectively breaks down stubborn phlegm and clears the respiratory tract, making it a primary remedy for chronic cough, congestion, and bronchitis.

• Digestive Cleansing: Acts as a mild laxative that cleanses the colon while its astringent properties help tone the intestinal muscles to prevent “lazy bowel.”

• Throat Health: Its antimicrobial nature makes it excellent for managing laryngitis, hoarseness of voice, and throat infections when used as a gargle or with honey.

• Weight and Cholesterol Management: Due to its “scraping” property, it helps in reducing internal fat accumulation and supporting healthy lipid profiles.

• Ocular Support: Traditionally used to improve eyesight and manage various eye disorders by reducing Kapha-related cloudiness.

• Hair Health: Often applied topically or taken internally to strengthen hair follicles and prevent premature greying.

Precautions

• Astringent Dryness: Because it is highly astringent, prolonged use in very high doses may cause dryness of the skin or throat; it is best balanced with honey or ghee.

• Dosage: The standard dose is 3 to 6 grams (1 to 2 teaspoons) twice daily, typically taken with lukewarm water or honey after meals.

• Pregnancy: Not recommended for use during pregnancy without direct medical supervision.

• Contraindications: Avoid use if suffering from severe dry cough or acute dehydration.
