Bhumyamalaki is the quintessential Ayurvedic herb for the liver. It is very bitter in taste and has an action that is cooling, soothing and cleansing. With its special affinity for the liver, bhumyamalaki acts to cleanse, detoxify and strengthen this essential organ. It also supports proper function of the gallbladder and promotes healthy skin. An excellent herb for both Pitta and Kapha, bhumyamalaki is useful for those with constitutions that would benefit from its dry and light qualities.
