Bilva Churna (powder), organic

Bilva is a tree which grows to a height of between 7,5 m and 9 m.  It grows wild in all parts of India but it is also cultivated.  The tree has a spiritual importance because, from time immemorial, its leaves have been offered to lord Shiva as a sacrifice.  Ayurveda uses the fruit as well as the leaves and roots.  The root is part of the famous dashamoola, known for its vata reducing effect.  Bilva has a calming effect on vata and kapha and increases pitta.
