Herb

Triphala

A traditional blend of three dried fruits, taken as a powder, gently supporting regular, comfortable digestion.

🌱 What it is

Triphala is a classic combination of amla, bibhitaki, and haritaki fruits, dried and ground into a fine powder. It has a long history of traditional use as an evening digestive tonic.

✨ How it may help

  • Traditionally used to support regular, comfortable digestion
  • May help support gentle, natural detoxification
  • Rich in antioxidant plant compounds from three fruits
  • May help support healthy gut bacteria over time

🥄 How to use it

Stir ½–1 teaspoon of triphala powder into warm water and drink in the evening. It's meant to be a gentle nightly tonic for digestion and regularity, not a harsh laxative.

⚖️ Caution

Triphala can be gently loosening, so start with a small amount to find what works for you. Avoid it in pregnancy and during acute diarrhea, and don't use high doses long-term. It may affect blood sugar and interact with some medicines, so separate it from medications and check with a doctor if you take regular treatment.

🍃 A note from nature

Triphala means 'three fruits' in Sanskrit, and each fruit is traditionally believed to support a different taste and function in the body's balance.
