Haritaki is probably the most interesting plant on Earth. It is called the "king of all medicines". It is said that when Eastern healers hear about this plant, they are filled with a trembling of delight. "Haritaki" literally means - "a plant that steals diseases". Ayurvedic canons state that haritaki can cure a hundred ailments. In the treatise "Madana-pala-nighantu", haritaki is compared to a mother: "Just as a mother cares for a child, so haritaki cares for a person. But a mother may sometimes get angry, haritaki will never harm those who take it..." In Ayurvedic and Tibetan medical treatises, there are many legends about the origin of haritaki. It is believed that the seven types of haritaki are seven drops of nectar that fell to Earth from the mouth of Vishnu (the Supreme). In another text, it is said that the haritaki forest grew in the place of the lovemaking of Varuna (the god of water) and Bhumi (the goddess of the Earth).

Although all parts of the plant have a healing effect (roots eliminate bone diseases, stem - muscles, bark - skin, branches - vessels, leaves - reproductive organs), Ayurvedic doctors mainly use the fruits of the plant, as they normalize the function of the neuroendocrine system and all vital organs.
