Terminalia bellirica var. seed
Seed kernel of the bibhitaki/bahera tree; used separately in Ayurveda as a narcotic and anthelmintic, distinct from the fruit pericarp.
Vibhitaki seed (Terminalia bellirica var. seed) is a distinct Ayurvedic botanical used for its anthelmintic, expectorant, and astringent properties. Its kernel contains galloylglucose, tannins, saponins, and fatty acids, which contribute to its traditional applications against intestinal worms, coughs, and hoarseness, though high doses historically produce narcotic effects. Evidence remains limited (Grade C), primarily from traditional use and preliminary studies.
The anthelmintic action is attributed to tannins and saponins that disrupt parasite cuticle integrity and inhibit acetylcholinesterase, leading to paralysis and expulsion. Expectorant effects arise from saponin-induced reflex stimulation of bronchial secretions, while astringent tannins precipitate surface proteins, reducing mucosal inflammation. The narcotic effect at high doses may involve GABAergic modulation or fatty acid-mediated membrane stabilization, though specific receptor targets are not well characterized.
