The Science of Triphala
The digestive
benefits of Triphala (Terminalia bellerica, Terminalia chebula
and Phyllanthus emblica) may be due to:
Binding to a
digestive hormone linked with gastrointestinal upset (CCK or
cholecystokinin)3
Increasing bile acid excretion, raising
levels of healthy cholesterol (HDL) and lowering levels of bad
cholesterol (LDL and triglycerides)4
Scavenging free radicals
(antioxidant activity)2

Dosha Guide
In Ayurveda there are seven
basic body constitutions resulting from the predominance of one
or more energetic influences or Doshas. The Doshas, Vata, Pitta
and Kapha, influence physical, mental and spiritual health.
Everyone is considered to be a unique combination of these three
body influences. Your natural Doshic state of balance is called
Prakruti. Triphala has been traditionally used for digestion,
strengthening and rejuvenating tissues and helping to balance
the Doshas.
