AYURVEDIC HERB SUPPLEMENTS

Bibhitaki HERBAL POWDER (TERMINALIA BELLIRICA)

Dry, light, clearing herb that reduces stagnation. Respiratory decongestant and laxative.

How Does This Ayurvedic Herb Supplement Improve Wellness?

CLINICAL AYURVEDIC REVIEW

Dry, light, clearing herb that reduces stagnation. Clears, decongests, and tones mucus membranes of the respiratory tract and upper body. Relaxes the nervous system. Use with honey for sore throats. Of 22 students, 10 reported less congestion (12 reported no change).

It is a rasayana for Kapha. Although hot, it does not aggravate Pitta due to astringency. Bibhitaki is energizing. In a 2021 study at Joyful Belly involving 22 students, 11 reported more energy while on 3 reported less. 8 reported no change.

Effects on Nervous System

Bibhitaki's warmth, nervine and nerve nourishing effects rise to the head, creating a relaxing effect, "I felt a relaxing warmth in the front lobe." Bibhitaki is thus one of the few kapha pacifying herbs that are good for insomnia. Let's recall that Bibhitaki's name means the fruit that takes away the fear. One student notes, "My shoulder muscles felt more relaxed. My eyes felt really pleasant and smooth.

Effects on Digestion

Bibhitaki sped up digestion in 8 students. 3 students experienced slower digestion, possibly due to its slightly irritating effect. Astringent & stimulating laxative that also tones mucosa of the digestive and urinary tract.

Bibhitaki is one of the 3 herbs in triphala. Its drying, clearing, and stimulating nature are some of the reasons triphala may irritate Vata individuals. 11 students notices Bibhitaki increased the size and length of cracks on their tongue, with only 1 students reporting cracks were smaller (10 reported no change). 12 students reported their skin was dry (9 reported no change).

One student notes, "My stomach immediately began to gurgle. Late, the gentle rhythmic moving in my abdomen indicated peristalsis. The next morning, elimination was voluminious and darker in color. Now I have a flat stomach with no gas or bloating."

Metabolic Nature of Bibhitaki

See a complete list of all biocharacteristics.

METABOLIC NATURE

Metabolic Nature

Ayurveda assesses metabolic imbalances through 20 main biocharacteristics (gunas). Aggravating them weakens your body and causes imbalance. By knowing which biocharacteristics are habitually imbalanced in your body, you will be able to identify and correct metabolic imbalances before you get sick. Every biocharacteristic has an opposite which balances it (i.e. hot balances cold). You restore balance by favoring diet and lifestyle choices that increase the opposite biocharacteristic.

TASTES

The 6 Tastes

Taste is used to sense the most basic properties and effects of food. Each taste has a specific medicinal effect on your body. Cravings for food with certain tastes indicate your body is craving specific medicinal results from food. Taste is experienced on the tongue and represents your body's reaction to foods. Sweet taste causes physical satisfaction and attraction whereas bitter taste causes discomfort and aversion. Kapha should use less sweet taste while Vata and Pitta would benefit from using more sweet taste. One of the first signs of illness is that your taste and appetite for food changes. The six tastes are sweet, sour, salty, pungent, bitter, and astringent. Do you crave foods with any of the tastes below?

DOSHAS

The Three Doshas / Body Types

Ayurveda is a metabolic theory of medicine that explains individual health, tendencies, and disease patterns through the concept of doshas, which can be understood as your metabolic patterns and tendencies.

Each dosha reflects a distinct metabolic nature and describes strengths & weaknesses in bodily function, and how these affect energy levels, digestion, susceptibility to disease, and many other tendencies.

Your metabolic nature not only affects your physical characteristics, but also influences your mental thought patterns, confidence, and enthusiasm.

Ayurveda balances these metabolic strengths & weaknesses to support your body's vitality and prevent recurrent disease cycles. This support is a critical aid, especially in chronic or incurable disease conditions.

The 3 metabolic body types (doshas), are Catabolic (Vata), Metabolic (Pitta), and Anabolic (Kapha).

Through dosha, Ayurveda empowers people to identify metabolic imbalances early, break repetitive patterns of disease, and cultivate habits that support long-term vitality and well-being.

Ultimately, these metabolic patterns also provide a framework for understanding yourself, including body, mind, and spiritual tendencies.
