Triphala
A time-tested Ayurvedic medicine for your health.
Triphala has been used for centuries, and it is documented in Ayurvedic textbooks from more than 5,000 years ago. It is one of the time-tested formulas in Ayurvedic medicine and has numerous health benefits.
Triphala is a Sanskrit word which literally meaning “three fruits”. The three fruits are Amalaki (Emblica officinalis), Bibhitaki (Terminalia belerica), and Haritaki (Terminalia chebula). There is a well-known saying, “You have no mother? Don’t worry, so long as you have Triphala.” It conveys that Triphala can care for all the internal organs as a mother cares for all her children equally. Triphala is considered a blessed herb, as it balances all three Doshas: Vata, Pitta, and Kapha.
Not surprisingly, Triphala is the most popular polyherbal formula. It is effectively used as a laxative, bowel cleanser, and body detoxifier on the cellular level.
It is much more than a bowel regulator. Triphala is considered valuable for many health issues:
Improving digestion and also as a gut tonic
Reducing serum cholesterol and helping fat metabolism
Improving circulation
Reducing high blood pressure
Improving eyesight, as an eye tonic
Improving bile function and liver functions
Proven anti-inflammatory and anti-viral formula
Balancing all the three Doshas (Vata, Pitta, Kapha)
I use Triphala daily myself and can tell you it has tremendous benefits for gut health. It is also an herbal remedy I often recommend to my Ayurvedic clients. It truly works. It removes toxins or ama from the body, which is one of the primary causes of health issues. Our American diet is one of the worst, with all of its sugar and processed foods. Triphala can make a difference.
