Terminalia Overview

Terminalia Terminalia is a genus of trees that are native to tropical and subtropical regions of the world. There are around 100 species of Terminalia, which are known for their hard, durable wood and their ability to grow in a variety of climates. In traditional medicine, three species are of particular note, Terminalia arjuna, Terminalia bellirica, and Terminalia chebula. Various parts of these trees, including the bark, leaves, and fruit, are used as a natural remedy for digestive problems, such as constipation and diarrhea, and to boost the immune system. They are also believed to have anti-inflammatory properties, and they may be helpful in reducing inflammation and swelling in the body.
