Triphala is a combination of three myrobalan fruits (haritaki, amalaki, and bibhitaki). Haritaki forms the base. Charaka, considered the "father of non-operative Ayurvedic Indian medicine"—author of the Charaka Samhita (a collection of writings from the 2nd millennium BC, the "Collection of Charaka")—believed that this fruit was as nourishing and beneficial as breast milk. Haritaki is a 'yogavahini,' meaning it cleanses all the shrotas (body channels) and is very quickly absorbed by the body.

The second ingredient is Amalaki – according to the scriptures, it is the best rejuvenating agent. Amalaki aids digestion, contains almost all of the Ayurvedic tastes (all except salty), and balances all the doshas. Although it promotes digestion, it does not increase Pitta, which is why it is often used for hyperacidity.

Bibhitaki, the last of the three myrobalan fruits, cleanses the blood plasma (Rasa), muscle tissue and eliminates harmful non-metabolizable waste products (AMA).

A large part of our immune system is controlled by our gut. So if your gut isn't healthy, this will eventually manifest itself in physical reactions.

Possible reactions of the body include, for example, cardiovascular problems, skin impurities or diseases, stomach inflammation, fatigue and poor sleep, digestive problems or headaches.

Applications
