Triphala is a combination of three myrobalan fruits (haritaki, amalaki and bibhitaki). The base is haritaki. Charaka, who was considered the "father of non-operative Ayurvedic Indian medicine" - author of the Charaka Samhita (a collection of scriptures from the 2nd millennium BC, the "Collection of Charaka") - believed that this fruit was as nourishing and useful as mother's milk. Haritaki is a `Yogavahini` which means that it cleanses all the shrotas (body channels) and it is absorbed very quickly by the body.
The second ingredient is Amalaki - according to the scriptures, it is the best rejuvenator. Amalaki is digestive, contains almost all of the Ayurvedic flavors (all except salty) and balances all doshas. Although it is digestive, it does not increase pitta, which is why it is often used for hyperacidity of the stomach.
Bibhitaki, the last of the three myrobalan fruits, cleanses the blood plasma (rasa), muscle tissue and eliminates harmful unmetabolizable waste products (AMA).
A large part of our immune system is controlled by our gut. So if your gut is not healthy, it will eventually manifest itself in physical reactions.
Possible reactions of the body include cardiovascular problems, skin blemishes or diseases, stomach inflammation, fatigue and poor sleep, problems in the digestive system or even headaches.
application possibilities
According to Ayurvedic understanding, Triphala can be used to remove toxins from the gastrointestinal tract; it is therefore supposed to help with intestinal cleansing.
To do this, take 1 teaspoon of the powder in a cup of warm water, dissolve it and drink the mixture slowly.
If you prefer to take Triphala as a dietary supplement, we recommend the organic Triphala capsules from our online shop.
