Arjun is a tree common in Central and South India. Its bark has a long history of use in the traditional medicine of India for the treatment of heart problems. Other uses of various parts of the Arjun tree include hemorrhage, diarrhea, irregular menstruation, skin ulcers, acne, wounds, and fractures.

Additional weak evidence suggests that terminalia may have antimicrobial effects, providing benefits against amoebas and other microorganisms.

One study has been used to indicate that terminalia can improve cholesterol levels, but in fact it proves little because the study was not double-blind.
