Triphala churna is a mild laxative, which cleanses and
tonifies the gastro-intestinal tract. It is made from the three most important
herbs in Ayurveda: Amalaki (Emblica Officinalis), Haritaki (Terminalia
Chebula), and Vibhitaki (Terminalia Bellirica). Triphala is known as a cleaning
agent, including a blood cleanser. The herb also has a high nutritional value,
including high levels of vitamin C. Because of its high vitamin content,
Triphala is often used as a food supplement like vitamins are in Western countries.
In fact, the benefits of this herb are so well known that a well known Indian
saying goes like this: "You do not have a mother? Don't worry, as long as
you have Triphala in your life!". In recent years, a number of research
studies have found new uses for this herb, including treatment for various
forms of cancer. It is also found to have high antioxidant qualities, and is
even useful for treatment against noise and stress induced conditions.
