Baheda

Scientific Name:

Terminalia bellirica

Commonly known as Baheda, this tree prefers well-drained soil and requires full sun to partial shade with moderate watering. It attracts pollinators like bees and butterflies and provides food and shelter for birds and small mammals, supporting local biodiversity. In traditional medicine, especially Ayurveda, Baheda fruit is valued for its detoxifying and digestive properties. It is used to treat constipation, boost immunity, and promote skin health. Known for its anti-inflammatory, antibacterial, and antioxidant benefits, the fruit is often consumed in dried form.
