How to take haritaki

I recommend organic haritaki. Haritaki comes in various forms, as a fruit, and as a powder. I recommend the powder, further I recommend the powder in capsule form. Haritaki is extremely bitter to the taste, and many people find it overly nasty to consume. Haritaki is best taken at night, just before bed. If taking the powder mix with water or juice.

Quantities of haritaki to take

Be cautious when you first start taking haritaki. Some people find that a very small amount is all they need and more causes excessive bowel movements. Start with one capsule or quarter teaspoon of powder. If your body responds well to the haritaki then increase the amount. You know when you are taking your ideal amount when you find that your bowel movement in the morning is strong, easy and healthy.

My discovery of haritaki

I was in India at an ashram in south India with the Indian Avatar, Paramahamsa Nithyananda. He recommended that we all take haritaki. My first experience was that the taste was horrible for me, but the cleansing effects and lightness that I felt was immediate. He described its effects on us in very compelling ways.

With his clairvoyant powers he says that he sees that haritaki, in addition to increasing health rapidly, has the remarkable effect of awakening the brain to increased consciousness. As his main focus is in increasing consciousness and creating enlightened beings on the planet he has studied it effects very closely and reports that he has never seen anything else have the effects on the body and consciousness that haritaki has.

On my return to the USA I delved into researching haritaki history and was very pleasantly surprised to find out that the ancient mystics and yogis of India have been praising haritaki for thousands of years, as the “King of Herbs”. In Buddhism the medicine buddha is the healing buddha. There are many paintings of the medicine buddha. On those paintings he holds haritaki in both hands. In Tibetean buddhism haritaki is used in almost all the medicines. It was not grown locally so it had to be carried over the Himalayas to reach Tibet to be used.
