FAQs — Haritaki Capsules NZ
-
What does Haritaki actually mean?
In Sanskrit, it is often translated as "the one who carries away (imbalances)," reflecting its long-standing reputation in Ayurveda for supporting a clean and harmonious internal environment.
-
Is it better to take capsules or powder?
While the powder is traditional, Haritaki is famous for being very astringent and bitter. Capsules provide the same botanical benefits without the intense flavor experience.
