The Many Health Benefits of Triphala

Triphala is one of the most popular formulations in Ayurveda, consisting of three highly beneficial herbs: Amalaki, Bibhitaki and Haritaki. 

In Ayurveda, it is described as a Rasayana or rejuvenator that offers multiple health benefits, making it a staple medicine in the Ayurvedic healing system (1). In addition, it is also a Tridoshic Rasayana, meaning it helps pacify all the three Dosha, viz Vata, Pitta and Kapha (2). 

Although Triphala is most popular as a gastrointestinal remedy in Ayurveda, the properties of the three rejuvenating herbs allow for the treatment of many diseases and disorders in the body (2). Let’s have a look at these uses and benefits here.
