What is Triphala Powder?
Triphala means "three fruits" in Sanskrit. It is one of the best-known blends in Ayurveda, made from the dried fruits of Amalaki (Indian gooseberry), Bibhitaki and Haritaki. This powder uses a 1:2:4 ratio of Amalaki, Bibhitaki and Haritaki by weight. The fruits are sun-dried, cleaned and finely ground, with no preservatives and no artificial additives.
In Ayurveda, Triphala is described as a light, drying and balancing blend, taken as a simple powder in warm water, usually at night. It carries all the tastes except salty, which is why the powder tastes slightly sour and bitter.
What is in the Blend
- Amalaki (Emblica officinalis), Indian gooseberry: 1 part
- Bibhitaki (Terminalia bellerica): 2 parts
- Haritaki (Terminalia chebula): 4 parts
