oldest and, beyond doubt, the most highly revered compound in the
5,000-year tradition of Ayurveda.
This formulation combines three
unique sour and astringent fruits that are legendary for their health
promoting effects: amla (Emblica officinalis), behada (Terminalia
belerica), and harada (Terminalia chebula). In Ayurveda, Triphala is
considered to be the most balanced of all herbal compounds, and it is
the cornerstone of herbal therapies in India.
Ayurveda-Promoting
Balance in Life
The underlying principle of Ayurveda is helping
to maintain health or bring the system back into balance. Key to this
goal is supporting both digestion and elimination, while providing
nourishing and nurturing tonifiers.
This approach contrasts with the
often harsh cleansing regimens used in the West, which employ laxatives,
purgatives, and diuretics.
These products are purely eliminative in
function and can lead to imbalance by causing laxative dependency or
mineral depletion.
Triphala is different!
The Three Fruits of
Triphala
Amla (Emblica officinalis): Amla is one of the most
commonly used health-promoting fruits of India. Also known as Indian
gooseberry, it is extremely sour and astringent.
According to the late,
two-time Nobel Prize winner, Dr. Linus Pauling, amla contains the
highest concentration of all fruits of heat-stable vitamin C, noted for
its powerful antioxidant activities. Amla is the primary nourishing
component of the Triphala formula.
Behada (Terminalia belerica): In
Ayurveda, behada is classified as sour, astringent, and warming. Though
it is considered the most cleansing of the three ingredients, it also
contains up to 31% linoleic acid and is rich in phenolic compounds.
Harada
(Terminalia chebula): Of the thousands of Ayurvedic herbs, harada is
the most commonly used. It is considered so precious that it is said do
not worry if you do not have a mother as long as you have harada. Like
the other fruits, harada is strongly astringent, and is often used for
the health of the mucosa.
This three-fruit combination balances each of
the different bodily systems identified in Ayurveda, in order to
maintain and restore balance to the entire system.
Who Can
Benefit from Triphala?
The short answer, according to Ayurvedic
herbalism, is absolutely everyone. Triphala is considered the most
balanced of all herbal compounds. It is designed to support normal
digestion, assimilation, and elimination which is important to us all.
In the United States it is most commonly relied upon as a cornerstone to
a botanical cleansing program, and to support a healthy bowel system.
Triphala
is especially beneficial for those who tend to have a sluggish
gastrointestinal tract due to sedentary lifestyles and overconsumption
of red meat, refined
carbohydrates, and dairy products.

Tierra Brings Triphala to America
Undoubtedly, many people
carried the precious Triphala formula with them to the United States
when they emigrated from India.
However, Triphala remained unknown to
the American health food industry until pioneer herbalist and Planetary
Formulas formulator Michael Tierra learned of its importance.
A
clinician with more than 30 years of experience, Michael had the benefit
of learning from many Ayurvedic practitioners. Michael is also an
acupuncturist and Oriental Medical Doctor (L.Ac., O.M.D.), and, as such,
he possesses an immense knowledge of classic Ayurvedic and Chinese
formulas. Michael considers Triphala to be the greatest of all classic
herbal formulas-bar none.
