Triphala is a traditional Ayurvedic herbal formula that is commonly used to support the health of the digestive system. It is made from a combination of three fruits: Amalaki (Emblica officinalis), Bibhitaki (Terminalia belerica), and Haritaki (Terminalia chebula). These fruits are believed to have a balancing effect on the three doshas in Ayurveda, which are the energies that govern various functions in the body.
Triphala is thought to be particularly helpful for balancing the vata dosha, which is associated with movement and circulation in the body. It is also believed to support the health of the pitta dosha, which is associated with metabolism and digestion, and to have a calming effect on the kapha dosha, which is associated with structure and stability in the body.
Triphala is often taken as a supplement in the form of capsules, powder, or extract. It is also available in a variety of other products, such as teas, creams, and oils. It is generally considered safe to use, although it is always a good idea to consult with a healthcare provider before starting any new supplement.
