What is Triphala?
You haven't heard of Triphala? WHAT? It has been revered as a healing remedy to promote longevity and overall health for over 1,000 years… where have you been all this time…?
Just kidding! Understandably, you may only have heard of Triphala if you've dug deep into botanical healing. But read further; you could get many incredible benefits from it – once you know, you'll always remember it.
The word Triphala is the literal translation from Sanskrit and means "three fruits". This is because this herbal remedy comprises three fruits.
The fruits are:
Amala (Emblica officinalis) aka Indian gooseberry
Bibhitaki (Terminalia bellirica)
Haritaki (Terminalia chebula)
Triphala is known as a polyherbal medicine.
Rich in essential minerals and amino acids, these three synergistic herbs are said to be highly effective when used together. While individually packed with healing power, they create a far more powerful treatment when combined than just one alone. The fruits are dried for use, giving us magical power in an easy-to-access format.
While traditional products contain equal proportions, these days, some people combine the plants in different proportions.
This type of polyherbal formulation is extremely popular in Ayurvedic medicine.
Wait! What Is Ayurveda?
Ayurveda is a traditional Indian system of medicine. The word "Ayurveda" is derived from Sanskrit, meaning "science of life."
In Ayurveda, there's an underlying belief that everything in life is connected. It aims to preserve health and wellness by keeping the mind, body, and spirit in balance and preventing disease rather than treating it.
Ayurvedic herbs and spices are an important component of this approach. They're thought to protect the body from disease and offer a variety of health benefits, including improved digestion, reduced inflammation, and improved mental health.
