title: Haritaki - its proper way of using as per brihatrayee.
abstract: The proper way of using the common ayurvedic drug Haritaki as depicted in Brihatrayee is discussed. It is evidenced that the entire fruits should be used as the drug unless otherwise specified to derive the optimum benefit and discarding any part results in the loss of the particular therapeutic property which in turn lowers the total therapeutic efficacy of the drug/preparation.
