Haritaki Powder – Organic Terminalia Chebula – Ayurvedic Digestion Supplement that Supports Gentle Cleansing* – ½ lb. – Non-GMO Sustainably Sourced 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 always want to try something new and I found one movie from youtube by Paramahamsa Nithyananda. I did not know who he was, but his speach was great to listen, so I watched the whole movie. He kept mentioning some kind of powerful fruit and I finally found the name of the fruit in English was haritaki . Some people say the taste is unbearable so I was kind of waiting for this monster. Today I received it by UPS and put 1 teaspoon(not tablespoon) in my mouth. OH MY GOD!!! what the.. the taste definitely shocked my tongue big time with some kind of strong chemical taste for seconds and then followed by a bit of sweetness. Weird enough and interesting experience and that made me keep laughing at myself. It's been about over an hour, I still feel so alerted as I drank huge amount of caffeine. I was going to eat lunch before I received this one, but I don't feel like to yet. I can't wait to let my family try and see what they say. In the movie he said, "300% oxygen level up" but to me was "1000%". I will keep trying and see. UPDATE : 6/30/2016 I do not know if it's plasibo effect or real effect, but I feel alive whenever I take this powder - better concetratoin on my work. It seemed like a bit of headache for 3days but now I don't feel headache any more. I even tried on my little dog, really tiny amount of haritaki in pure coconut water. (with 3ml syringe), WOW -this 12 yr old small one became so alive and walk faster or run when I take him out. I did it because I found 'haritaki for pets' health articles online.

I’m only on day two of using this. It does make you a tad bit nauseous, but nothing to dramatic, and definitely cleaned out my pipes aka had to sit on the toilet for a bit. I read reviews before purchasing, and yes it’s absolutely vile tasting if you drink it straight! I mix it with Matcha powder and sugar free lemonade, and drink it from a straw and there is 0 taste! Anyway I take sleeping pills every night to go to bed, the first night I took this powder I decided to opt out of my sleeping pills, and slept just fine! Excited for this journey! UPDATE: I love haritaki! I have been sleeping better then ever, having vivid dreams, and going to the bathroom more regularly. I am constantly tired and lack energy, and I have definitely seen a boost in energy, and a lot more focus in the gym. Will continue to take this daily.

I had first taken this for days and didn't notice much of a difference. I was close to leaving this a poor review for effectiveness, but that soon changed, so you got to give this a good couple of weeks experimenting to really assess how it works. You can't necessarily try it once and expect mind-blowing results. It was only when I stopped taking it that I realized it had been working. It's that subtle for me. When I stopped taking it, I was so tired all day and caffeine wasn't doing anything. Then I thought, "Tomorrow I'm going to try that Haritaki stuff again because I didn't feel this tired on it." I went back to taking it and I had more energy throughout the day. It's just that subtle that I only notice the lack of energy on the days I don't take it. Because the energy given isn't something mind-blowing like an espresso shot or red bull. It's more like a clearer mind kind of energy. In that respect, it gives me more clarity and gives me a pleasant feeling where I'm not in a bad mood, I'm simply content. Therefore, this is probably good for meditation or if you're going for a walk in nature somewhere. It also helps me with a clearer mind for work when focus is needed. I've taken 1/8 in the morning, then later in the afternoon I go to the gym and I feel on fire. It seems to take hours before I really start to notice the changes in my body. I'd start small with 1/8 teaspoon first to assess your reaction and tolerance, then the next day if you're fine with that raise it to the 1/4 recommended. This dissolves best in hot water, which you have to stir vigorously to break it up. Taste wasn't anything to write home about, but also wasn't as bad as some said. Maybe because I added honey to it or put it in a tea to drown the taste. Or because I'm used to taking healthy products that lack in taste. If you want sugar, get a coke. I would recommend drinking tons of water with this or make sure you're hydrated as it might make you dehydrated. Take that as a clue to drink water. I didn't have the negative side effects that others commented on such as nausea, vomiting or having to constantly go to the bathroom. I can't speak for their physical body chemistry or why they'd experience that, but everyone is different. I've always been into healthy products and nutrition for decades. I also watch what I eat. And I work out several times a week with cardio and weights. So the clearing for me is like any other day with this stuff. There probably just wasn't that much in the way of toxins in my body because of that. I suspect those that had massive negative reactions may have been filled to the brim with toxins that needed to be eliminated. Take a look at your diet and what you typically consume as well too. Our bodies and physical chemistry are all different from one another so we will all react differently to a supplement or substance. This may or may not work for you, so it's just a matter of choosing to take the risk in trying it for a couple weeks or not.

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. Credit: I first heard of it (and how to take it) from Nithyananda's teachings on youtube.

It’s great

taste nasty

Not as great as other brands

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.
