Banyan Botanicals Haritaki Powder – Certified Organic, 1 Pound – Terminalia chebula – for Detoxification & Rejuvenation* – Organic, Vegan, Non-GMO, Gluten Free, Certified Fair for Life Fair Trade

I've been using this for a few weeks now, it tastes terrible but the first time I used it, it definitely uh... Cleared me out... With a velocity! Don't try this without being within waddling distance of a bathroom! Don't say I didn't warn you... Other than that, I'm not sure if it does much else, I think I'm feeling a little better, sleeping a little better with slightly more energy throughout the day, but I am using other supplements as well so it's hard to pin point what exactly is doing what. So since the bowel movements have become less.. explosive, and I haven't really struggled with constipation anyways since I started eating healthier, or at least I thought I hadn't 🤔 I will continue to take it simply for that fully evacuated feeling. I feel lighter throughout the day and less bloated. I'll probably get Triphala next time as it's a mix between Amalaki, Bibhitaki and Haritaki. I started out taking this on an empty stomach before breakfast but it left me with a knot in my gut that I couldn't really shake for the rest of the day. So I would recommend using this after you've eaten, or with food and on a day you can sit at home and judge how it effects you. Trust me when I say, if it effects you anything like it did me, the mountainess mudslide of madness that's going to come out of you waits for NO ONE! With all that being said, after a few weeks of use I went to get my morning teaspoon of Haritaki and realized there were small pieces of what looked like paper or cardboard in it, I tried getting them out with the intent on leaving a negative review and throwing out the remainder of the bag, but most of them were almost immediately lost in the powder when I tried to retrieve them. I did manage however to get one piece out, and upon looking closer and comparing it to Google images of what the Haritaki plant looks like, I decided that it looks too much like the a shell fragment to assume it's cardboard.. Or at least I'm hoping. 🤞 If I find anything that looks different in the bag I will definitely update this review, but so far so good. A label on the bag stating that fragments may be present would be helpful in letting customers know what it is if they happen to find anything in their bag, instead of assuming the worst and throwing the product away like I almost did. I'll continue using this brand for now as they do seem like a reputable company.

I bought this products regularly and it was alway good quality however this time it didn’t test same and looks like was not pure Haritaki. Assuming this time tree was not good or something mix It was testing like Trifala.

taste isn't the best but prepare to use the bathroom within an hour after drinking it

Oh! My! God! And I'm not saying that in vain, this herb is truly a Godsend! In your palm, mix half a teaspoon of this with equal parts ghee (Banyan Botanicals also sells that, or the Purity Farms brand is pretty accessible too), and raw local honey or manuka honey. Actually, you may even need to start with just 1/8th teaspoon of haritaki powder and work your way up. Why? I have to tell you, this might make you vomit the first or second time you take it, especially if you do it without the ghee and honey. It's worth it though, seriously. The continued short and long term benefits far outweigh a time or two of brief discomfort you might feel the first couple days of taking it. Take it at night, just before bed. You won't be sick in the morning, if you'll get nauseous, it'll happen right after, so try to just take it and go straight to bed. Mix the ingredients in your palm. It mixes most easily when you put the ghee on first, then the haritaki powder, then the honey on top. Stir with your finger until the powder is blended in with the other stuff. It will all come together as a golden paste/cream. Then just lick it up and follow with a full cup of warm or room temperature water. Do this every night and watch the amazing changes in your health unfold... ...regulates bowl movement and ends constipation, gives you more energy, helps resolve anemic and blood issues, significantly less painful menstrual cycles, clearer thinking, etc... I speak from experience on all of this! Once you get used the the taste, leave it in your mouth for a few seconds after you lick it up. As it mixes with your saliva it adds healing to your teeth and gums. Mine used to be dark, but after doing this a few months my gums are bright pink again! This stuff is an ancient vedic herb, known for thousands of years to heal mind and body. I took the time to leave this review because it works wonderfully for me.

It’s great
