What is Triphala and Why is it an Ayurvedic Marvel?

The term Triphala is Sanskrit and translates to three fruits; it is an effective Ayurvedic preparation composed of Amla (Indian Gooseberry), Haritaki and Bibhitaki. It boasts of rejuvenating and detoxifying qualities and helps to maintain overall health and longevity. Triphala is considered to be a Rasayana or a tonic by Ayurveda that helps to restore balance, increases immunity, and improves digestion. Consistency is beneficial in balancing the three doshas (Vata, Pitta and Kapha) to keep the body in its natural balance.
