Search Results for "Terminalia"

Terminalia is a genus of medicinal trees used in Ayurveda, best known for heart-tonic bark (arjuna) and gut–skin-supporting fruits (chebula). Think of it as a botanical toolkit: arjuna for the heart and lipids; chebula and Triphala (which includes two Terminalia fruits) for metabolism, vascular health, and skin oiliness. People care because these plants have human trials showing improvements in cardiac function, cholesterol, and select metabolic and skin markers.

Think of them as carb-traffic controllers and heart helpers.
