Harad, also popular by the name of haritaki, is an ancient ayurvedic herb that is native to the South East countries of India, Sri Lanka, Bhutan and Bangladesh etc. It is essentially the dried fruit of the tree named Terminalia Chebula and is plucked before the seeds are formed inside it. It is a dry, warm, slightly sweet, bitter and astringent herb which contains all the five rasas found in nature. The harad kernel is sweet, the veins are sour, the stem bitter, the bark vitriolic, the pith astringent. This makes it a truly versatile herb that is used for the treatment of various diseases and curing different doshas of the body.
