Introduction
Madhise Khari, known locally in Nepal by names like मधिसे खरी, कुयल, and globally as
the Charcoal Tree, is a lesser-known but highly valuable plant in
traditional medicine and natural healing. Scientifically called Trema
orientale, this small to medium-sized tree is native to tropical and
subtropical regions and plays a quiet but impactful role in rural health,
especially in Nepal and surrounding countries.
Despite its common use in traditional treatments, it's not
widely commercialized, which means it retains its place as a community medicine
rather than a mainstream product. With powerful medicinal properties packed in
its bark, leaves, and other parts, Madhise Khari has gained attention from
researchers and herbal medicine users alike.
Availability in Nepal and Other Countries
Madhise Khari thrives in warm (tropical) and mild
(subtropical) climates, which is why it is commonly found across the Terai,
mid-hill, and lower Himalayan regions of Nepal. It naturally grows in open
spaces, forest edges, roadsides, and fallow lands, and is considered a
fast-growing pioneer species.
Beyond Nepal, this plant is also found in India, Sri
Lanka, Thailand, Vietnam, Malaysia, and several parts of Africa. It does
well in areas with plenty of sunlight and moderate rainfall, and because
it grows fast and doesn’t need much care, it is often used in reforestation
and erosion control projects.
Physical Properties
Trema orientale is a medium-sized deciduous tree,
typically growing up to 10 to 15 meters in height. The tree has the
following identifiable features:
- Leaves:
Simple, alternate leaves that are about 10 to 15 cm long and 5
to 7 cm wide. They are usually oval in shape with pointed tips and
have rough surfaces.
- Flowers:
Small, greenish in color, and not very showy. These usually bloom during
the warmer months.
- Fruits:
After flowering, the tree produces small black fruits. These are
berry-like and are known to attract birds.
- Bark:
The bark is thin and grayish-brown, and is an important source of tannins,
used in traditional medicine and leather tanning.
- Wood:
Lightweight and soft, which makes it suitable for charcoal
production—hence the common name “Charcoal Tree.”
Medicinal Properties
Madhise Khari is packed with bioactive compounds that make
it a powerful traditional remedy. These include flavonoids, tannins,
saponins, alkaloids, and phenolic compounds. These elements give it
anti-inflammatory, astringent, laxative, and antimicrobial properties.
Traditional uses in Nepali communities reveal a wide range
of health benefits:
- Anti-hemorrhoidal
(for piles) – The leaves are boiled and used to treat arsh (piles).
- Laxative
effect – It helps relieve constipation by softening stools and
improving digestion.
- Antidiarrheal
and anti-dysentery – Very effective for diarrhea, dysentery, and
irritable bowel issues (sangrahani).
- Skin
treatment – Applied externally to manage itchiness, skin
inflammation, and rashes.
- Blood
purifier – Regular consumption helps detoxify the body and purify the
blood.
- Throat
and tonsil infections (ganogola) – Its decoction helps reduce throat
swelling and infections.
These traditional claims are now being supported by some
scientific studies that highlight Trema orientale's potential as a natural
medicine for gastrointestinal and inflammatory issues.
Advantages
Madhise Khari offers several advantages, especially in
regions with limited access to modern healthcare:
- Easily
Available – Found in forests and rural areas without needing
commercial cultivation.
- Multi-purpose
– Used for medicine, charcoal production, firewood, and reforestation.
- Eco-friendly
– Grows fast and helps prevent soil erosion.
- Non-toxic
– Safe in small traditional doses with no major side effects reported.
- Affordable
– An excellent alternative for those who cannot afford expensive
treatments.
Uses
Different parts of the Madhise Khari tree are used for
different medicinal purposes:
- Leaves:
Used to treat piles, constipation, skin diseases, and diarrhea.
- Bark:
Source of tannins, used as an astringent and for wound healing.
- Fruits:
Occasionally used for treating throat infections and to stimulate
appetite.
- Roots
and stems: Sometimes boiled for use in traditional decoctions
to treat fever and body pain.
This plant is most commonly used in rural Ayurvedic and folk
medicine, but is also gaining interest in modern herbal research for its antioxidant
and antibacterial effects.
Using Method
Here are some traditional preparation and dosage methods as
commonly practiced in Nepal:
- Kadha
(Decoction): Boil leaves or bark in water and drink one cup (approx.
250 ml) once or twice a day for piles, constipation, or skin
diseases.
- Arka
(Extract): Extract of the plant can be taken in a dose of 10–20
grams for internal cleansing.
- Churna
(Powder): Dried leaves or bark are powdered and consumed in 3–5
grams dosage mixed with honey or water.
- Bhasma
(Ash): Burnt ash of the plant can be taken in 2–3 grams dosage
for digestive disorders.
- Paste
for External Use: Crushed leaves or bark mixed with water to make a paste
for applying to skin infections, boils, or rashes.
Harvesting and Preservation
Harvesting
- Leaves
are best collected during the growing season (spring to early summer) when
the plant is most vibrant.
- Bark
should be harvested carefully to avoid killing the tree. Only strips of
bark should be removed, and the tree should be allowed time to regenerate.
- Fruits
are collected when fully ripened and black in color.
Preservation
- Drying:
Leaves and bark should be dried in shade to preserve the active compounds.
- Storage:
Store in airtight containers, away from moisture and direct sunlight.
- Shelf
life: Properly dried and stored parts can last up to 6 to 12 months.
To maintain its medicinal strength, never dry or store the
plant parts in plastic bags or under direct sun.
Conclusion
Madhise Khari (Trema orientale), or the Charcoal Tree, may
look like just another plant growing on the roadside, but it holds a world of
healing power in its leaves and bark. Used for generations in Nepal to treat
common yet serious health problems like piles, diarrhea, constipation, and skin
issues, this tree is a perfect example of how nature provides simple solutions
to complicated problems.
Its easy availability, eco-friendly growth, and low-cost
treatment options make it a highly valuable plant, especially in rural and
under-resourced communities. As more people turn back to nature for wellness,
herbs like Madhise Khari deserve a closer look—not just as "local
cures" but as genuine natural remedies backed by tradition and emerging
science.
If you're interested in exploring natural healing, keeping Madhise Khari in your herbal toolkit could be a wise and rewarding choice.
