3 Fruits, 7 Benefits
Ayurveda’s
triphala powder is the solution to several health issues
Triphala
is an ancient herbal mix, a combination of the powdered form of three fruits:
amla, haritaki and bhibitaki. It offers solutions to various health and body
conditions.
Seven
uses of triphala powder:
1. As a mouth rinse: For bad breath and/or
blisters in the mouth, add half a teaspoon of triphala powder to warm water and
rinse your mouth with this solution before sleeping.
2. As an eye-disorder
manager:
The herb bhibhitaki helps strengthen the eye muscles and prevents conditions
leading to diabetic cataract.
3. As an acne
controller:
Acne is the result of either hormonal imbalance or toxins in the blood. The
herb haritaki helps remove blood toxins.
4. In cholesterol
management:
Regular use of triphala powder (even if you are already on statins) leads to an
improvement in the liver’s ability to break down excess cholesterol.
5. As an immunity
booster:
Triphala clears the micro channels in the body, builds immunity and banishes
allergies, coughs, colds and fevers. 6. As a cancer preventer: Cancerous cells
proliferate in conditions of acidic pH and destruction of beneficial gut flora.
Triphala helps keep the gut flora balanced. 7. As a gentle laxative: Triphala
keeps bowel movements healthy and regular.
How to take triphala
If
you have a vata body type: Consume half a teaspoon of triphala twice a day in
room temperature water.
If
you have a pitta body type: Take one teaspoon of triphala powder twice a day
with room temperature water.
If
you have a kapha body type: Take one and a half teaspoon of triphala powder
twice a day with warm water. Kapha constitutions need warm water due to their
sluggish metabolism.
