Triphala is called the Ayurvedic panacea.   This formula is more than three and a half thousand years old. She literally does miracles with healthy people and helps the sick to recover.

This is what he says about triphala: “He who takes triphala for a year will get rid of all diseases and live to be a hundred years old.” This formula has a pronounced ability to cleanse the body of toxins and rejuvenate tissues. The word triphala itself indicates that this preparation consists of three fruits taken in equal proportions: amalaki, bibhitaki and haritaki.

Amalaki (Emblic Myrobalan) is an Indian gooseberry about the size of a plum. It contains twenty times more vitamin C than oranges and is one of the most powerful anti-aging plants in Ayurvedic medicine. It has a harmonizing effect on Pitta - dosha. Amalaki relieves fatigue, improves mental abilities, blood circulation, enhances the fire of digestion and excretion functions. This is the main component of another famous Ayurvedic remedy - Chyawanprash. Amalaki acts as a nourishing tonic, cools, improves sexual function, has a laxative, astringent and hemostatic effect. It strengthens teeth and is effective in hair loss by promoting hair growth. Regulates blood sugar levels. The nature of amalaki is sattvic, giving love, good luck and longevity.

The second component of triphala is bibhitaki (Beleric Myrobalan). It acts on the respiratory, digestive, excretory and nervous systems. This is another powerful anti-aging herbal remedy. Bibhitaki is a tonic for Kapha dosha, improves voice and vision, and also promotes hair growth. This fruit has a laxative and at the same time astringent effect, cleansing the intestines and increasing its tone. Effective for various kinds of stones and accumulation of Kapha in the digestive tract, urinary and respiratory tract; dissolves and removes these formations from the body, expelling parasites; has a tonic effect on the stomach.

Haritaki (Terminalia chebula) is the king of drugs in Tibetan medicine. Perfectly balances Vata and Kapha. The ancient texts say that Haritaki nourishes the brain, energizes Shiva (pure consciousness); regulates the function of the colon, improves digestion, increases life expectancy.

These three fruits are the very essence of triphala. Its composition has five tastes out of six possible, thanks to which the balance of the three doshas is restored.

Triphala is widely used for the prevention and treatment of most diseases in people of all ages. But perhaps its most wonderful property is to rid the body of toxins. First, the intestines are gently cleansed, then the blood, lymph, tissues, and with prolonged use, the entire skeletal system.

Ayurvedic doctors say: one who takes this composition will never get cancer, because. the drug cleanses and rejuvenates all tissues of the body, preventing the formation of tumors. Researchers at the Cancer Institute at the University of Pittsburgh believe that triphala could soon become an alternative therapy for pancreatic cancer. They found that the drug activates genes that inhibit the reproduction of tumor cells.

Triphala can be used to wash the eyes, it is an indispensable remedy for cataracts and glaucoma and simply to improve vision. It is used for jaundice, diabetes, skin diseases, colds, gynecological problems.
