Organic Triphala - Detoxify Your Life

Detoxify your life

Tree-phala, tri-faa-laa, or some combination of the two, we're not entirely certain, but, as dear Billy Shakespeare once said: A rose by any other name would smell as sweet.

So let's ditch the diction difficulties and dive into the benefits of this illustrious herbal combination.

What is Triphala?

Triphala, literally meaning "three fruits" in Sanskrit, is a combination of three fruits, all native to the subcontinent of India.

These fruits, Amalaki, Bibhitaki and Haritaki, are traditionally combined in Ayurveda for their balancing and cleansing qualities.

What are the Benefits of Triphala?

Most commonly, Triphala is used in Ayurveda as part of traditional wellness practices that emphasize balance in digestion.

Some modern studies have explored Triphala for its antioxidant properties and its role in overall wellness, though findings vary.

In Ayurveda, Triphala is valued for its cleansing qualities and is often included in traditional daily routines. Haritaki is traditionally described in Ayurveda as having “scraping” qualities that help maintain balance in the body.

Beyond cleansing, Ayurveda describes Triphala as a versatile blend used to support general balance and overall vitality.

Although typically taken as a combination, adaptogenic super-herb, the three fruits that comprise Triphala also each tout their own health benefits.

How to Use Triphala

Triphala is now readily available on the internet (and, most likely, you're local natural foods store) in powder, capsule, tablet, or liquid form.
