TRIPHALA

Triphala Information

This traditional herbal (plant) supplement has a recepy that is thousands of years old (it has been mentioned in some traditional Indian writings such as the Sushrut and the Charak). Triphala is seen as a 'tridoshic rasayan', because it balances and rejuvenates the three constitutional elements that reign (govern) human life: Pitta (responsible for metabolic processes), Vata (regulates the human nervous system), and Kapha (this one supports the body’s structural integrity).

This medicine is an extremely popular herbal remedy that 'cleanse' (it promotes the patient’s bowel movements). Another reason for the drug’s popularity is that most individuals are suffering from bowel irregularity and constipation. These two conditions unfortunately lead to an even poorer liver function and general digestion, less vitality and sometimes even less optimism.

Triphala is a drug that has nutritional and liver and blood cleansing (detoxifying) effects. This drug is not as efficient as a local demulcent. However, it is a lubricating nourishment source that also possesses a few bitter anthroquinones. These anthroquinones are known to help the stimulation of peristalsis and bile flow. Another of the medicine’s nutritional benefits comes in the form of the drug’s high C vitamin content, bioflavonoids and also in the phospholipids’ and linoleic oil’s presence.

Triphala is rich in valuable nutrients which make it a very good tonic. This drug has a high nutritional content and it has proven itself to be an excellent blood purifier, as it stimulates bile secretion, helps digestion, detoxifies the liver, reduces serum cholesterol, and even reduces the levels of lipides in the patient’s body.
