Arjun

Scientific Name:

Terminalia arjuna

Arjun thrives in well-drained, sandy or loamy soil with full sun and moderate watering. This tree provides shelter and food for birds and insects, contributing to local biodiversity. In Ayurvedic medicine, it is renowned for its heart-health benefits, including reducing blood pressure, lowering cholesterol, and improving circulation. The bark and leaves are used to treat respiratory issues like asthma and coughs, as well as skin diseases. The wood of the Arjun tree is highly valued in construction and furniture making due to its durability.
