While the world has evolved and changed, the cures, recipes, and home remedies stated in Ayurveda have stood the test of time. Today, with increasing awareness about health and side effects of allopathic medicines, using kitchen herbs, spices, and condiments for treatment is becoming an increasingly attractive option. One of the many home remedies recommended by Ayurveda for many simple day-to-day problems is Triphala churna.
Detail : Triphala powder is beneficial in treating a number of issues ranging from weight loss to diabetes. Since it acts as an anti-inflammatory agent, it is to treat arthritis and reduce inflammation. It also has antioxidants and is used to prevent or delay aging. It also has some anti-cancer properties.
So, what is triphala churna?
- Triphala is not a standalone kitchen species or herb. Triphala is, in fact, a combination of two Sanskrit words, Tri, which means three, and Phala, which means fruit. This means ‘triphala‘ is not one fruit or herb, but three fruits in one, in their dried and powdered form. Triphala is composed of the following three fruits:
- Embilica officinalis, commonly known to Indians as amla. It is also called Indian gooseberry.
- Terminalia bellirica, commonly referred to as bibhitaki in many languages, and called vibhidaka in Sanskrit. Many people also call it bedda or baheda.
- Terminalia chebula, called haritaki in Sanskrit, is a nut-like fruit that is picked when it is still yellow and ripening. It is commonly known as harad.
- These three fruits are dried properly, and then mixed in the right proportions and sold as ‘triphala’. You can also try and make triphala at home.
- While the three are used separately for various treatments plans, together, they can be quite a power packed treatment for a number of health problems. Let’s take a look at the Triphala benefits.
