What is Haritaki

All seven types of Haritaki fruit have their own unique look, flavor and benefits as well as anthraquinone-like (laxative) chemicals, tannins and astringents. Haritaki fruit is part of triphala, the three-fruit formula in Ayurveda. It is generally administered in triphala form rather than by itself to draw upon its tonic effects.
Haritaki has been shown to nourish tissues, particularly the heart, liver, and kidney. It is used to treat diseases of the eye (both internally and externally). In addition, Haritaki, by blocking the ability to utilize sugars, may help to eliminate bacteria and have cholesterol-lowering qualities.
It is amazing what a small little fruit can do to help us with our every day illnesses and even with our struggles with weight lose. I personally have suffered all my life with weight problems and could never find anything to work for me until I got into the natural ways of helping my body function. You can see some of the other blogs I have written below and please check out my blog that tells you how I have been making my dreams come true. "Believe me when I say, we have a lot to learn from the Ancients and their 5,000 years of naturopathic medicine .

The Jujube

The jujube originated in China where they have been cultivated for more than 4,000 years and where there are over 400 cultivars. The plants traveled beyond Asia centuries ago and today are grown to some extent in Russia, northern Africa, southern Europe, the Middle East and the southwestern United States. Jujube seedlings, inferior to the Chinese cultivars, were introduced into Europe at the beginning of the Christian era and carried to the U. S. in 1837. It wasn't until 1908 that improved Chinese selections were introduced by the USDA.

Jujube is known to calm nerves. By grounding the fruit to a powder, small amounts can be used to promptly reduce the effects of stress and purify the blood. In addition, the compound called Ziziphin found in Jujube leaves can suppress the sweet taste in humans and Jujube fruit helps soothe the throat.

It is amazing what things that we find here on earth that can help us with healing, illnesses and even weight management. I am starting to believe that if we do enough research and study on these wonderful fruits and herbs we can learn a lot from the Ancients and their 5,000 years of naturopathic medicine .
