Mankind has been more concerned about their health, protection from evils of diseases and suffering since the dawn of civilization. Since then he believed that, nature alone could help in conquering these afflictions and he sought remedies in nature i.e., in Plants, Minerals and Animals. Haritakee (Terminalia chebula. retz) is one of commonest and easily available medicine, which is generally used in various forms along with other two dravyas like Amalaki and Vibhitaki by the folklore. Among the earlier references, Panini described it for the management of dysurea, anurea, constipation (mootra purisha nirodha) and Rasayana karma (rejuvenative effect). Here an attempt has been made to collect the available literary data related to Haritakee with respect to its rasayana (rejuvenative property) effect.
