Three humble fruits, one gentle daily habit — and why it's different from a laxative.
Triphala is prescribed more often than any other Ayurvedic formula. Here's why.
The three fruits
Amla cools, Haritaki cleanses and Bibhitaki clears Kapha. Together they balance all three doshas.
Not a laxative
Laxatives force the bowel. Triphala tones it, so over time your gut works better on its own.
How to take it
1 teaspoon in warm water at bedtime. Some prefer it with honey in the morning.
