Herb
Also known as: Three fruits
Definition
The name means 'three fruits'. Amla (Phyllanthus emblica), haritaki (Terminalia chebula) and bibhitaki (Terminalia bellirica) are combined, usually in equal parts, as a powder or tablet.
Triphala is considered gentle and balancing for all three doshas, and it is one of the most widely used formulations in Ayurveda.
Ayurvedic physicians may include triphala as general digestive support within a wider plan. It works alongside, not in place of, any medical treatment.
Amla (Indian gooseberry), haritaki and bibhitaki.
Traditionally at night with warm water, but the form and timing should come from your physician.
Guduchi Ayurveda's BAMS-qualified physicians offer online and in-clinic consultations, working alongside your existing treatment.
