The pomegranate is indigenous to North Western India. 

 The best fruits, having sweet juice and very small seeds come 

 from Cabul. The fresh juice of the fruits is much used as an 

 ingredient of cooling and refrigerent mixtures and of some 

 medicines for dyppepsia. The rind of the fruit is used as an 

 astringent in diarrhoea. In the Pharmacographia it is stated that 

 the use of the root-bark as an anthelmintic by the Hindus 

 attraeted the notioe of Buchanan at Calcutta about the year 1805. 

 This physician pointed out the efficacy of the root-bark which was 

 further shown by Fleming and others. I have not been able to 

 find any notice of pomegranate root-bark in Sanskrit works.
