The banyan is a huge evergreen fig tree native to the Indian subcontinent and the national tree of India. Its aerial roots grow down from the branches and become new trunks, so a single tree can cover a large area.
Known in Sanskrit as Nyagrodha, its bark, aerial roots and latex are used in Ayurveda. The bark is traditionally used in skin-care preparations, and the aerial root tips in oils for healthy hair.
