Harad: Ayurveda's 'Mother-Like Medicine' for Holistic Health & Body Strength

• Harad (Haritaki) is revered in Ayurveda as a "mother-like medicine" for its gradual, holistic approach to nurturing, protecting, and purifying the body, balancing all three doshas: Vata, Pitta, and Kapha.
• It's a rare 'Rasayana medicine' known as 'Sarvadoshahar', effectively stabilizing Vata, cooling Pitta, and reducing Kapha's inertia, thereby purifying the body and improving metabolism.
• Beneficial for digestion: 0.5-1g powder with lukewarm water after dinner aids constipation, gas, and indigestion, gradually restoring intestinal rhythm (Dr. Anju Chaudhary).
• Dosha-specific uses: With Desi Ghee for Vata (joint pain, dryness); with rock sugar/honey for Pitta (acidity, burning sensation); with lukewarm water before meals for Kapha (congestion, lethargy).
• Also supports skin health, blood purification, cough/phlegm relief (with honey), and weight management; regular micro-dosing as a Rasayana strengthens Dhatus and immunity.

Why It Matters: Harad is Ayurveda's 'mother-like' Rasayana, offering gradual, holistic balance for body and mind.
