Triphala in Ayurveda has endured as the most widely used herbal formula. It is key to Rasayana or the therapeutic measure which promotes longevity, prevents aging, imparts resistance and immunity against diseases. The classic combination of three fruits (amalaki, haritaki, and bibhitaki) is said to be supportive for a thousand human health challenges.

Triphala encourages all the tissues of the body to release the ama, or natural toxins, that are being held. The Triphala then directs the ama to the digestive tract and carries it all the way through the process of elimination. A daily dose of Triphala is an easy way to maintain regular detoxification and a healthy system.
In Ayurveda, the secret to healthy nails, strong bones, and thick hair actually lies in the colon! The colon is one of the last stages of the digestive and elimination processes, and when things aren’t going right, waste can begin to accumulate in the colon and create ama. This coating of toxins prevents the absorption and assimilation of essential food nutrients, and the nails, bones, and hair end up not receiving the nutrition they need to thrive. When Triphala is taken on a regular basis, complete and regular bowel movements become the norm, and the colon is able to receive all the nutrients and nourishment needed for vibrant health and radiant beauty.

A Whole-Body Tonic. Triphala is one of the most incredible substances in Ayurveda, partly because it has a fascinating prabhav—an unexpected effect. It is commonly known that Triphala cleanses and detoxifies, but it’s the post-digestive effect that is not as widely recognised. Once Triphala has done its work in the body and made its way through the digestive system, it leaves the tissues not only cleansed, but also nourished, toned, and rejuvenated. The three fruits of Triphala all target different systems in the body, and together they create a synergistic formula that reaches into every tissue layer, or dhatu.
