Triphala literally means “three fruits”. It consists of a blend of three dried fruits: Amalaki (Amla), Bibhitaki (Baheda), and Haritaki (Harad).
Amla, often known as Indian gooseberry, is high in antioxidants. It can treat digestive issues and cardiac difficulties, regulate pancreatic function, manage cholesterol, and increase bone density.
Whereas Bibhitaki helps maintain blood cholesterol levels and treat hepatitis, bronchitis, asthma, eye disease, etc.
Haritaki aids in the treatment of ulcers, skin conditions, diabetes, constipation, colic pain, and hemorrhoids.
It is a Tridoshic in nature, regulating the three doshas (Vata, Pitta, and Kapha) in the body.
