Overview

Terminalia berecilla, known as bibhitaki in Sanskrit, is a significant fruit utilized in traditional medicines like Ayurveda and Unani.
In Hindi, it is called baheda, tanikaya in Telugu, tanri in Tamil, and bibhitaki in Sanskrit.
The bibhitaki fruit contains plant chemicals such as beta-sitosterol, tannins, gaelic, ethyl, and elegiac acid. The seed kernel’s yellow oil is highly valued for its skin-tightening properties, while leaves and roots contribute to overall health.
According to Ayurvedic texts, Bibhitaki means “not afraid of disease,” emphasizing its role in promoting longevity, reducing stress, maintaining health, and supporting digestive systems.
Wildcrafted in forests, bibhitaki is believed to have healing properties, addressing diseases, promoting longevity, and enhancing strength and stamina.
