Triphala means “three fruits”. It is an Ayurvedic herbal Rasayana formula consisting of equal parts of three fruits (without seeds). These are Amalaki (Emblica officials), Bibhikaki (Terminalia belerica) and Haritaki (Terminalia chebula). These are three of Ayurveda’s most widely used superfruits. Triphala is traditionally used as a bowel tonic. It helps to clean the colon in several ways. Haritaki provides a mild laxative function, while Amalaki supports healthy pH levels. Bibhitaki enhances metabolic function, and the large quantities of tannins in Triphala increase tone in tissue and support overall colon function.
