Triphala is an ancient herbal blend that has been used in the Ayurvedic system of healing for more than 1000 years. Triphala consists of 3 herbs: Haritaki, Bibitaki and Amala. It is the most frequently recommended herbal formula in Ayervedic Medicine. Due to its many health benefits, Triphala has become increasingly popular around the world.
One of the biggest challenges in today’s world is the bioaccumulation, which is the gradual accumulation of chemical wastes in the body. Triphala is best known for its gentle effects on the digestive tract and for improving peristalsis* which assists the body in cleansing the buildup of these wastes. Triphala is also known for its replenishing and nourishing effects on the bowels and for its anti-inflammatory compounds that may help protect against many chronic diseases.
In addition, Ayurevedic Medicine views Triphala as a well-balanced supplement that has the ability to assist the body in the rejuvenation of healthy cells and also to assist the body in aging gracefully.
