It belongs to Combretaceae family and attains a height of 20-30 m. It finds its place in ancient Indian medicinal literature like Charaka Samhita and Astang Hridayam. Ancient Indian physician Vagbhatta first advocated the use of this bark powder for the treatment of heart diseases. It is an essential ingredient in many ayurvedic preparations meant to improve cardiovascular health. It is known to provide antidyslipidaemic , hypocholesterolaemic and antioxidant activity . These were established by various in vivo studies on animal and human volunteers . The plant has also been found to possess anticancer activity and antibacterial activity .
USES
The bark of Terminalia arjuna has been used in India for more than 3000 years, primarily as a heart remedy. An Indian physician named Vagbhata has been credited as the first to use this product for heart conditions in the seventh century A.D. Research on terminalia has been going on since the 1930s, but studies have provided mixed results. Its role, if any, in heart disease still remains uncertain.
Nevertheless, people today use Terminalia arjuna for disorders of the heart andblood vessels (cardiovascular disease), including heart disease and related chest pain, high blood pressure, and high cholesterol. It is also used as “a water pill,” and for earaches, dysentery, sexually transmitted diseases (STDs), diseases of the urinary tract, and to increase sexual desire.
