Description
Triphala is most well-known for its gentle effects on the bowels, improving peristalsis and cleansing toxic build up of wastes; but Ayurveda also views triphala as a nourishing supplement with an ability to rejuvenate healthy tissues, allowing one to age gracefully.
Amalaki (Emblica officinalis) has a cooling effect that helps to balance pitta dosha. A natural source of antioxidants, it also boasts a concentrated amount of vitamin C, making it a powerful support for the immune system.
Bibhitaki (Terminalia bellirica) is particularly good for kapha dosha and contains a specific constituent called beta-sitosterol, a plant-derived phytosterol, which is known to support healthy metabolic function.
Haritaki (Terminalia chebula) has a warming nature that supports all three doshas, especially vata. Traditionally known for its “scraping” and detoxifying effect, it has also been shown to contain the beneficial constituent beta-sitosterol.
