Though you may have never heard of Triphala, an ancient Ayurvedic treatment used a healing remedy for over 1,000 years.
This herbal concoction consists of three medicinal plants native to India.
Amla (Emblica officinalis)

Haritaki (Terminalia chebula)
Triphala is a powerful herbal remedy that consists of Haritaki, Bibhitaki and amla. It is used in traditional Ayurvedic medicine to prevent disease and treat a number of symptoms, including constipation and inflammation.
Triphala contains a number of antioxidants that perform protective functions in the body. It contains vitamin C, flavonoids, polyphenols, tannins and saponins, along with other potent plant compounds. These compounds help fight oxidative stress caused by free radicals, which are molecules that can damage cells and contribute to chronic disease.
