Directions for taking Himalaya Triphala

Triphala is traditionally taken on an empty stomach first thing in the morning or at bedtime. Allow several weeks for long lasting benefits. Natural products have a wholistic effect on the body and take time for absorption and results

Triphala in Ayurveda:

Triphala is mentioned throughout the ancient literature of Ayurvedic medicine as a tonifying blood cleanser and gentle bowel cleanser, highly prized for its ability to regulate the processes of digestion and elimination.

Used by itself or in formulation, Triphala plays an essential role in the treatment of a wide variety of conditions. Ayurvedic medicine designates Triphala as a rasayana, a Sanskrit term given to those medicaments that improve general health and prolong life

It is so safe to use and so highly valued for its efficacy that a common aphorism among many Ayurvedic practitioners is "when in doubt, use Triphala."

Ancient authors noted that it contains every taste except salty, and acts to promote a state of balance between the humoral principles (i.e doshas) of Vata, Pitta, and Kapha.

Each component of Triphala has a specific activity on a particular dosha: Amalaki fruit is considered to be a rasayana for Pitta (i.e. inflammation); Vibhitaka a rasayana for Kapha (i.e. congestion); and Haritaki as a rasayana for Vata (i.e. degeneration). Triphala is also considered to be malashodhana, removing (shodhana) the toxic wastes (mala) of poor digestion that remain in the body, called ama. The indications of ama include a thick greasy coating on the tongue, poor appetite, indigestion, constipation, joint pain, headache, orbital edema, sinus congestion, a feeling of coldness, mental confusion, and lethargy.

The routine use of Triphala each morning is thought to detoxify the body and restore the integrity of the entire digestive tract, with a perfect balance between its astringent (healing), demulcent (soothing), digestive, and cleansing properties.


Triphala is considered a Tridoshic Rasayan in Ayurveda as it helps to balance the 3 elements of Vata, Pitta and Kapha. It is treated as Gold in Ayurveda since it helps to balance and rejuvenate the body and has multiple benefits for the various organs.

How is Triphala traditionally used?

Triphala is now available as tablets which are convenient to consume. Traditionally, the three dried fruits are soaked overnight and the strained water is consumed on an empty stomach in the morning. You can also soak triphala powder from tablets overnight and drink it in the morning.

For a beneficial eyewash, triphala powder can be soaked overnight and the strained water can be applied to the eyes. You can even soak Triphala tablets and use the strained water in the morning to cleanse the eyes.

Triphala is used as base for many medicines and is also used in combinations such as Triphala Guggulu that in addition to detoxification helps maintain normal cholesterol levels.
