Triphala, a herbal remedy is a mixture of three dried fruits. In fact, Triphala literally means “three fruits” in Sanskrit. They are:

- Amala (Emblica officinalis), also called Indian gooseberry
- Bibhitaki (Terminalia bellirica)
- Haritaki (Terminalia chebula)

The combination of these components working together is said to be more effective than if taken separately. 

This type of herbal remedy is popular in the practice of Ayurveda. Translating to “knowledge of life” in English, the goal of this 3,000-year-old practice is to provide you with recommended lifestyle changes combined with natural therapies to restore the balance of your mind, body, and spirit.

Ayurveda encourages multiple herb mixes like Triphala to treat a variety of different health issues and prevent chronic diseases. It has been touted for its ability to:

- Aid in digestion and weight loss
- Regulate blood sugar levels
- Reduce inflammation
- Prevent cancer
- Lower cholesterol
- Normalize blood pressure
- Inhibit HIV
- Reduce tumors
- Protect and improve liver function
