- Triphala is a cornerstone of gastrointestinal and rejuvenative treatment and is one of the most used Ayurvedic herbal formulas - alone or often part of more complex Ayurvedic herbal formulas.
Triphala, meaning 3 fruits, consists of the fruits of the three plants Amalaki, Haritaki, and Bibhitaki, generally in equal proportions and has been used in traditional medicine in India for over 1000 years. According to the great ancient Ayurvedic physician Charak, taking the Triphala Rasayana (Triphala with honey and ghee) daily has the potential to make a person live for one hundred years devoid of old age and disease.1
Ways to take Triphala:
For General Maintenance of Health - Take 1/2 tsp of Triphala Churna and steep it in 1/2 cup of warm water for 3-5 minutes. Stir well and drink down the mixture including any sediment. Drink this each night before bed.
For Constipation -- Take 1 tsp of Triphala Churna and steep it in 1 cup of warm water for 5 minutes. Stir well and drink down the mixture including any sediment. Drink this each night before bed. Repeat in the morning if needed.
Rejuvenation and Longevity - Take ½ tsp Triphala churna and blend it with ½ of ghee and 1 tsp honey to make a paste. Take this paste each night before bed during times of rejuvenation therapy.5
Shita Khsaya - Shita (cold infusion); Kshaya (decoction)
Shita kshaya is a specific method of taking triphala: Add 1 teaspoon Triphala in 8 oz of water. Stir and cover. Let this infusion sit for the day. In the evening take the liquid portion leaving the powder. Add another 8 oz of water. Stir and cover, and drink this milder infusion in the morning, again leaving and composting the powder. Repeat this practice daily for long-term use as preventive medicine.

Beautiful explanation of Triphala, Lala. ❤
i just started taking triphala capsules and i am amazed
Sorry for the delay in responding, I was on a meditation retreat in the mountains. Note: Triphala is an excellent travel alley to help regulate bowels and support immune function.
What are some of the benefits you're experiencing?
Good video, I encountered a few bags of the powder yesterday and picked it up as it was heavily discounted and looked nutrition and health related so I thought I would check it out, looks like it is good supplement.
It’s an excellent, safe and effective supplement, and the most prescribed in Ayurvedic Medicine. It gently detoxifies the intestines and is a mild laxative, so if you experience too loose stools taking it, adjust the dose. Let me know how it goes.
Aloha & thank you Lala🌺…I’ve learned so much from your channel.
I’m sharing your channel along my journey. Getting back to my Ayurvedic lifestyle.
Blessings from NYC☀️
Aloha dear ~ thank you for your kind words, they make my smile and my heart happy. I'm glad the videos are benefitting you and inspiring your on your Ayurvedic path. Tat tvam asi ~
Thank you for share your knowledge very important information thank you 🙏
You are welcome sweet friend. Ayurveda has much to offer about living in harmony with nature and it delights me to share what I know. Wishing you a joyous spring.
Damn I've just been consuming triphala in capsule format for the last year. Will definitely try the alternate methods you've presented here.
No problem dear one, capsules work really well too, this is just another way to take. However, there is some wisdom to tasting the herbs. My teacher Dr. Lad say to drink Triphala until it tastes sweet; he gives it to all his patients.
What were you taking it for? Gentle laxative, antioxidants incl. vitamin-C or other?
Thank you for this great informant.
Where can i find these fruits? I live in Europe
Thank you for the information
thank you for your channel!
Thank you
Amazing how a simple "thank you" has such an impact. It makes my heart smile. Thank you for your appreciation. I hope this finds you healthy & well.
Awesome
I wanted to get benefit from triphala powder. But i am underweight. So, is it okay for me to consume Since it's good for weight loss also?
Thank you for sharing your concern as it may benefit others too. Triphala is a mild yet very effective bowel tonic and detoxifying formula - a dose of 500-1000 mg is generally very safe. If taken in higher doses it can act as a laxative.
Thank you so much for this video! It was very helpful. 💕
Thank you for the feedback darlin'. I'm glad the info helped to serve you. Stay bright!
@@LalaNaidu Thank you, and you as well. 💕✨
Hi mam I have been using in powder form...in the morning with warm water ...empty stomach...will it help me in weight loss?? Mother of 3yr old baby...c section...gained weight after caesarean
Namaste dear ~ Triphala will help detoxify the digestive tract and support elimination, which is needed to lose weight, however, diet, habits around eating, general lifestyle and exercise need to be addressed also. The recommendations are catered to the individual so to support you further I would need more info. You're welcome to email me via my website for details www.LivnAloha.com
Love, Lala
Most appreciated! Thank you very much. How do I take triphala for gut health, liver health, and hormone health?
Namaste Nina ~ thank you for your question. In Ayurveda we treat each person uniquely, so in order to give you more specific advice on those 3 areas of health, I'd need more details about your case. However, for general health, check out the description box below the video. I hope that helps!
If I am taking ashwangadha at night, can I still take triphala tgt? Or take in the morning before breakfast?
I’m more to acid reflux, heartburn and indigestion. My capsule is all 3 equal ratio.
Namaste ~ taking ashwagandha and triphala together in the evening is fine. The three fruits in equal proportion are the standard way and work well as a gentle detox, etc. I cannot advise you without more details however the symptoms you describe I've treated with DGL licorice, taking 20 min before meals in addition to dietary and lifestyle changes.
Will this work for sibo, sifo or Candida? I've been taking it for about a month now and still having stomach issues.
Namaste, the conditions that you mention are complex and have often developed over time. Treatment to restore gut microbial balance usually takes time and a structured plan including changes to diet and lifestyle, and yes most likely triphala will be part of this protocol, but it isn't a cure-all solution. A good place to start, if you haven't already, is to eliminate refined sugars and processed foods. I hope that helps.

When should we take triphala tablets before food or after food
The most effective way to take triphala tablets is on an empty stomach before bed with warm water. Start with 1-2 tablets and increase if needed, depending on condition.
Is it good to boil trippala and drink the water. Does trippala improve eye sight in glucoma patient.appreciate your help
Namaste - yes, you can boil triphala in water and take it that way, just know that depending on the amount used, it has laxative properties. Triphala is best used as a preventative for eye disorders. I can't say that it will improve eyesight, but I have seen good results with various eye disorders. I hope that helps. Keep me posted on the results.
@@LalaNaidu Thank you very much for the information
Can I give this to my dog who has liver issues, high enzymes and tumor?….thank you
Aloha Jake, sorry to hear about your dog's health challenges. Unfortunately, I cannot advise you as I have very little experience working with animals. I imagine that there are good holistic veterinarians out there that can offer more experienced guidance. Sending healing energy to you and your pup ~
How do you use the paste?
Hello friend ~ If you are referring to the paste of triphala mixed with ghee, you eat it, and if needed drink it down with a bit of warm water.
@@LalaNaidu thanks! What can I do to make the taste go away because I really don't like the taste of triphala..
@@rtotdexwtothef2943 One of my teachers once shared that you take triphala until it tastes sweet. Triphala comes in many forms, such as tablets or capsules, this way you avoid the taste, though I consider that part of the medicine.
I sometimes get stomach aches after which I need to run to the wash room also I'm prone to acidity not always but I do face it often. How can I use tripahala for this cause and for my general health. Also I want to use it as a rejuvinating ingridient can u pls guide me?
Namaste dear, it's not wise for me to guide you without having done a more thorough intake of your health history. There may very well be other remedies that would be more specifically suited for your condition. If your condition is severe please see a medical doctor in your area. In general, acidity is a pitta imbalance (too much heat) Amalaki, one of the fruits in triphala is indicated to treat acidity. Coriander and fennel also help to cool the digestion and shatavari (a cooling root) is soothing if there's any burning indigestion or loose stools. I hope that helps.
@@LalaNaidu Thanku maam, I'm a pitta dosha
@@aninditasinha9736 Ok dear, then a diet with the predominant tastes of sweet, bitter and astringent will be helpful; avoid or limit spicy foods depending on the severity of the imbalance. Cooling pranayama is helpful too in addition to fluid and gentle exercise.
What is the plant based version for Ghee and honey?? what else can I take it with??? I will appreciate your help so very much :) :)
I really don't think there is any substitute of Ghee and Honey.
Namaste dear, I understand that some people prefer not to use animal products. In Ayurveda, ghee and honey are considered medicines and used with that intention. Other forms of fats and sweeteners will have different effects. You can use coconut or almond oil and sweeten with jaggery (unrefined sugar). Stay bright!
Thanks for the tutorial, is it good for osteoarthritis?
It wouldn't be a stand-alone treatment but could be complementary to food & lifestyle changes. The following herbs have been shown to decrease overall inflammation in the body: boswellia, turmeric, ashwagandha, ginger, triphala, guggulu, and shatavari. Also, Yoga Nidra (guided meditation) can help lower inflammatory responses. I hope you find relief. Sending soothing healing energy ~
@@LalaNaidu thanks for your response. Stay safe and blessed.
Can I take it in tablet form ? I am using as a general detox .I have thyroid
Yes, tablet form works well too. I use that when traveling and for some patients that is a more convenient way to consume. Not sure what you mean by "I have thyroid"? Blessings ~
How lang can you take Triphala? I have been taking daily 500mg for half a year now. Should i take some time off?
Namaste ~ it's a very same herbal formula and safe to take long-term. You could consider lowering the dose and increase again as needed.
@@LalaNaidu Thank you so much for answering!
Thank u so much for this video
I m diagnosed with sibo
Would triphala help my issue
I have lots of acid reflux .gerd
Lost 26 pounds and can’t gain it back because I’m scared to eat
Lots of nausea
Please let me know
Tnx and god bless 🙏
Aloha dearest, I’m sorry to hear that you are suffering and have lost a lot of weight because you are scared to eat. Since I don’t know your health history and don’t want to steer you wrong, I can’t give you specific advice. Triphala might be helpful. I recently wrote a blog on Gut Healing Teas, scroll down to view one for SIBO > www.ayurvedawoman.com/blogs/blog/gut-healing-teas
Sending love your way ~
Is it safe to take if I have low bloodpresure?
Sorry for the delay in responding, your question somehow got overlooked. I don’t see any contradictions for taking triphala with low BP. Pranayam or breath practices can be very helpful to increase circulation and therefore BP and ensuring adequate nutrition like iron and B vitamins.
Can I take triphala ... during.. viral fever treatment with allopathic medicines ... .. in morning I have taken triphala.. after that I go to doctor viral fever he give me fever tablets .. should I take those tablets today night ?? And can I take triphala again in the morning??
Fever - a rise in body temperature - is your body's innate mechanism to deal with the viral load. I say take a break with triphala until your fever subsides. The less the body (under stress) has to deal with the better. I hope you feel better soon.
@@LalaNaidu thanks ...
Wn to consume triphala
Before or after good mam
Hello dear, it's a bit challenging to give specific recommendations as I don't know your current health situation, however, Triphala is very safe, take after meals and in general to support healthy digestion, assimilation, and elimination. Let me know how it is working for you. Sending Love.
💖
Thank you for the love, right back atya'!
How to take triphala powder in morning due to this bad taste
My teacher told us to take triphala until it tasted sweet. Alternatively, you can take tablets or capsules which works well too.
Can 17 yr.old use this pill?
Namaste dear, sorry for my late response. Yes, indeed, it's a very safe, yet effective herbal formula.
Age limit to use this tablet?
Namaste, good question. I don't suggest using it with babies, from 4 years old should be safe. The dose though will need to be adjusted according to the child's weight. I particularly use it with elders to keep the bowels healthy and bowel regularity which tends to decrease as the body ages. I plan on taking my whole life. I hope that helped to clarify.
Hello, is triphala safe to take during pregnancy?
Namaste dear ~ because of its downward-directed energy it's not advised during pregnancy. It's probably fine in small doses, but best to be cautious and wait. If you were looking to take Triphala for its laxative effects soaked prunes or ground flaxseeds can be used, flaxseeds are a good source of Omega-3's which are important in pregnancy...but not sure about your specific needs. Wishing you a healthy pregnancy.
@@LalaNaidu thank you so much for this info.I really appreciate it.:)
Subah triphala lene k kitni der baad breakfast khaana chaaheyay???
Namaste my friend, I wish I spoke Hindi. Could you please translate it into English and I will do my best to respond.
@@LalaNaidu after taking triphala in the morning ... then how much time we should wait for breakfast ??
@@raahul021 Thank you for the translation. I'm half Indian, grew up in Denmark, and didn't learn Hindi. I started classes in Autumn last year. Waiting 30 min would be best. Let me know the effects. Blessings ~
@@LalaNaidu thanks ... ..
Can we have triphala with omega fish oil
Namaste dear ~ yes, I see no problem with that. There's much research to support the benefits of Omega-3's on heart health. Why are you taking it?
