Description

Vibhithaki is a majestic deciduous tree native to India and Southeast Asia. Its elliptical fruits turn from green to brown as they ripen and are revered for their medicinal properties in Ayurveda.

Ayurvedic Properties:

• Triphala Herb: Vibhithaki, along with Amalaki and Haritaki, forms the renowned triphala trio, believed to balance all three doshas (vata, pitta, and kapha) and promote overall well-being.
• Pitta-Pacifying: Vibhithaki is considered a pitta-pacifying herb, making it beneficial for managing conditions associated with excess pitta energy, such as acidity, inflammation, and skin issues.
• Digestive Aid: Its fibrous pulp and laxative properties aid in healthy digestion, alleviating constipation and promoting regularity.
• Respiratory Support: Vibhithaki possesses expectorant and anti-inflammatory properties, making it helpful in managing respiratory ailments like cough, cold, and asthma.
• Skin Radiance: Its antioxidant and astringent properties help combat free radical damage and promote clear, radiant skin.

Benefits of Vibhithaki:

• Supports healthy digestion and gut health
• Soothes respiratory discomfort and cough
• Promotes clear, glowing skin
• May aid in weight management
• Boosts overall immunity and well-being

How to Use Vibhithaki:

Vibhithaki’s versatility makes it a valuable addition to your Ayurvedic routine:

• Powder: Grind the dried fruit into a fine powder and mix it with water or honey for consumption.
• Decoction: Boil the fruit pieces in water to create a decoction for internal use or external application.
• Oil: Infuse Vibhithaki in oils like coconut or sesame for massages or topical application.
