Triphala: Uses and benefits

Triphala can be found in powder, capsule or tablet form, and it combines the power of 3 fruits: Haritaki, Amalaki and Bibitaki, which are known to balance the doshas Vata, Pitta and Kapha respectively. This special formulation balances the 3 doshas and has virtually no contraindications, but it may be drying to some constitutions if used long-term.


💩 Digestion

Traditionally used for maintaining a healthy digestive tract. Use when there are signs of

sluggishness, constipation, bloating, flatulence, abdominal pain and indigestion. It can help to heal ulcers, inflammations, hemorrhoids and general dysbiosis in the gastrointestinal tract. It is an appetizer and destroys toxins in the GI tract.


👋🏽 Skin and Gums

When there are signs of toxicity in the blood with skin inflammations, acne or boils triphala is

used to detoxify the whole system. Also used as a mouthwash in gum inflammations with bleeding gums.


👁️ Eyes

Triphala has a long history of use for eye inflammation: conjunctivitis, styes, blepharitis. Use

an eyewash of the infusion.


⚖️ Weight

In conditions of excess weight, high cholesterol and obesity, Triphala can be used as part of a weight-balancing program. Also used to help prevent overeating and food cravings due to its balanced spectrum of flavors.


👩🏽‍🦰 Scalp

Washing the scalp with triphala helps balance oily roots, dandruff and some cases of hair loss.


🍑 Vagina

Medicated douches with triphala, combined with appropriate diet, can help eliminate the onset of recurring vaginal yeast infections.


To a balanced life!


Namaste,
