Baheda, also known as Bibhitaki in classical Ayurvedic texts, is a powerful fruit obtained from the Terminalia bellirica tree. It is one of the key ingredients in the ancient formulation Triphala, known for its cleansing and rejuvenating effects. Baheda is especially valued for its benefits on the digestive, respiratory, and immune systems.
Traditionally, Baheda is used to clear excess Kapha, remove accumulated toxins, and regulate bowel movements. It helps soothe the respiratory tract, relieve sore throat and congestion, and support long-term lung function. As a mild laxative and internal cleanser, it improves metabolism, nourishes body tissues (dhatus), and supports longevity. Baheda is also known for promoting healthy hair, vision, and skin, making it a versatile herb in holistic wellness.
