Triphala Churna is a traditional Ayurvedic powder made from three fruits, hence the name Tri-phala (“three fruits”).
Ingredients
It traditionally contains these three ingredients in equal proportions:
- Amalaki (Amla) — Phyllanthus emblica
- Haritaki (Harad) — Terminalia chebula
- Bibhitaki (Baheda) — Terminalia bellirica
Traditional benefits
- Constipation: Traditionally used as a gentle bowel regulator and may help improve bowel movements.
- Digestion: Used to support digestion and reduce occasional bloating or indigestion.
- Gut health: Its plant compounds and fibre may support normal intestinal function.
- Antioxidant support: The three fruits contain various polyphenols and other antioxidant compounds.
- Eye health: Ayurveda traditionally uses Triphala for supporting eye health, although evidence for oral Triphala treating eye diseases is limited.
- General wellness: Traditionally considered a rasayana (rejuvenative) formulation.
