Triphala is one of the most revered and widely used formulations in Ayurvedic medicine. The name 'Triphala' literally means 'three fruits' in Sanskrit, referring to the three medicinal fruits that comprise this formula: Amalaki (Emblica officinalis), Bibhitaki (Terminalia bellirica), and Haritaki (Terminalia chebula). What makes Triphala unique is that each fruit targets a specific dosha while supporting the others' actions. Amalaki primarily balances Pitta dosha with its cooling energy, while also providing rejuvenative effects. Bibhitaki focuses on Kapha dosha, helping to remove excess mucus and supporting the respiratory system. Haritaki mainly addresses Vata dosha, improving elimination and supporting the nervous system. When combined, these three fruits create a synergistic formula that is considered tridoshic – balancing all three doshas simultaneously. This makes Triphala suitable for almost everyone, regardless of their constitutional type.
