Triphala means "three fruits" - the three fruits being Haritaki, Amalaki and Bibhitaki. When combined as Triphala, they form
a very powerful rasayana. A rasayana is a highly intelligent herbal combination that enlivens the inner intelligence
of mind and body from a fundamental level and there by promotes rejuvenation and long life.

AMALAKI

Known as Indian gooseberry or amla, is considered one of the best rejuvenating herbs inAyurveda. It’s a strong natural antioxidant containing 20 times more vitamin C than orange juice. In India, amalaki is known as the “nurse herb” because it strengthens the immune system and cools the body, balancing the Pitta dosha.

BIBHITAKI

Is an excellent rejuvenative with both laxative and astringent properties. It eliminates excess mucous in the body, balancing the Kapha dosha. In addition, bibhitaki is a powerful treatment for a variety of lung conditions, including bronchitis and asthma.

HARITAKI

Has the strongest laxative powers of the three fruits contained in triphala. In Tibet, haritaki is so highly revered that in their sacred paintings, it’s often depicted in the extended palm of the medicine Buddha. The herb also has astringent properties and balances Vata.
