Bibhitaki Powder (225g) | Ayurvedic Herb for Respiratory & Digestive Balance

Bibhitaki Powder is a single-herb churna milled from the dried fruit rind of Bibhitaki (Terminalia bellirica), one of the three myrobalan fruits that together make Triphala. Its Rasa is predominantly astringent, its Virya is Ushna or warming, and its Vipaka is sweet. Bibhitaki is classically counted among the Rasayana herbs and is best known for reducing Kapha and settling Pitta. Traditional practice turns to it for clear, easy breathing, comfortable regularity and a well-toned digestive tract.

Ayurvedic Significance

In the classical texts Bibhitaki is described as Kaphahara and Chakshushya, a herb that lightens accumulated Kapha and is friendly to the eyes. Its astringent taste tones tissue while its warming Virya keeps the Pranavaha and Annavaha Srotas open and free of Ama. Because it is heating yet finishes sweet in Vipaka, it clears Kapha without provoking Pitta, an unusual balance that earns it a place in Triphala. Practitioners value its Rasayana quality for the voice, the hair and the Rasa Dhatu.

Key Benefits

• Clear, comfortable breathing: A classical Kapha-reducing herb that supports open airways and easy passage of breath through the Pranavaha Srotas.
• Gentle, comfortable regularity: Bibhitaki's soft cleansing action supports a natural, unhurried daily rhythm while its astringency tones the bowel.
• Steady digestion and appetite: Its warming quality supports Agni, helping the stomach process food comfortably and keeping appetite well regulated.
• Kapha and Pitta balance: Heating in energy yet sweet in Vipaka, it lightens Kapha accumulation without stirring Pitta.
• Rasayana support for voice, hair and eyes: Traditionally taken as a rejuvenative that nourishes the tissues and supports clear vision and a resonant voice.

Ingredients

Formulated according to the traditional principles of Ayurveda.

All Prana Ayurveda herbs are sourced from select wild regions of India, where they naturally develop higher concentrations of active constituents.

Suggested Use

The traditional serving is a quarter to half a teaspoon of the powder, once or twice daily. Warm water is the preferred Anupana; a little honey suits the herb well when the aim is respiratory comfort. Evening, an hour after supper, is the classical timing. It pairs naturally with Haritaki and Amalaki as Triphala. For dosage and duration suited to your constitution (Prakriti), consult a qualified Ayurvedic practitioner.

Additional Information

You will see this herb written as Bibhitaki, Vibhitaki, Bibhitaka, Bhibhitaki, Baheda, Behada or Beleric myrobalan.
