Triphala
त्रिफला
Triphala teen fruits — Amla, Haritaki aur Bibhitaki — ka classical Ayurvedic mixture hai, jo mainly digestion ke liye jaana jata hai.
Ye kya hai
Triphala ka matlab hai 'teen phal': Amalaki (amla), Haritaki aur Bibhitaki, aam taur par equal parts mein.
Ye Ayurveda ki sabse widely used formulations mein se ek hai.
Traditional Ayurvedic use
Ye sadiyon se chali aa rahi practice hai — iska matlab clinically proven nahi hota.
- Bowel regularity aur digestion support ke liye, aksar raat ko garam paani ke saath.
- Eye wash aur mouth rinse jaise external traditional uses mein.
What research suggests
Neeche har point ke saath likha hai ki evidence kitna strong ya kitna uncertain hai.
Constipation aur bowel regularity
This is Triphala's most-studied use; some small human trials suggest a mild laxative effect. Evidence quality is moderate at best.
Oral aur gut health
Small studies and lab work exist; results are preliminary.
Common forms
- Churna (powder) garam paani ke saath
- Tablets aur capsules
- Kwath / decoction
Safety & cautions
- Zyada matra mein loose motions, cramps ya dehydration ho sakti hai.
- Pregnancy mein generally avoid kiya jata hai (laxative effect ke kaaran).
- Doosri medicines ke absorption par asar pad sakta hai — timing gap rakhna common advice hai; apne doctor se confirm karein.
- Chronic constipation lambe samay tak rahe to self-treat na karein, medical evaluation zaroori hai.
