Forgotten Trees of Ayurveda Khadira takes us back to one of Ayurveda’s most valued traditional medicinal trees. Known botanically as Acacia catechu, Khadira has held an important place in Ayurvedic practice for generations. Traditionally, practitioners have used its heartwood, bark, and other parts in various preparations.
Moreover, Ayurveda particularly values Khadira for its astringent qualities and its traditional connection with skin health, oral care, and Kapha-Pitta balance. Although many modern wellness discussions focus on popular herbs, traditional trees such as Khadira deserve attention too.
