Synopsis

Source of validity: Traditional
Rating (out of 5): 2

Belleric myrobalan (Terminalia bellirica), known as "Bibhitaki" in Ayurveda, has been traditionally used in various systems of traditional medicine, especially Ayurveda and Unani, for urinary disorders. References to its use can be found in classical Ayurvedic texts such as the Charaka Samhita and Sushruta Samhita, where it is included in formulations aimed at managing conditions like hematuria (blood in urine), dysuria, and urinary tract inflammation. The fruit is believed to possess astringent, anti-inflammatory, and antimicrobial properties, which may account for its traditional use in urinary conditions.

Despite these historical uses, scientific validation supporting the efficacy of Belleric myrobalan specifically for treating or supporting "blood in urine" is limited. While some modern in vitro and animal studies suggest that extracts of Terminalia bellirica have anti-inflammatory and antioxidant effects, there is a lack of direct clinical research focusing on hematuria or related urinary bleeding in humans. Thus, the evidence for its use in this context is primarily traditional, with a moderate level of historical documentation but minimal scientific confirmation.
