Ask ten Vaidyas for one formulation everyone can benefit from and nine will say Triphala. It is exactly what the name says — three fruits: Amalaki, Bibhitaki and Haritaki, powdered in equal parts, nothing else.
Why bedtime matters
Taken with warm water about an hour after dinner, Triphala works overnight with your body's natural elimination rhythm. Unlike stimulant laxatives, it tones the colon rather than irritating it, which is why classical texts class it as a Rasayana — a rejuvenator — and not merely a purgative.
Getting the dose right
Start with half a teaspoon (about 3 g) in warm water at bedtime for a week. If your digestion runs slow, move to a full teaspoon. The taste is honest — astringent, sour, slightly bitter. Resist the urge to mask it entirely; in Ayurveda, taste is part of the medicine's signal to the body.
Who should pause
Skip Triphala during acute diarrhoea, pregnancy, or alongside strong dehydrating medication, and ask your doctor when in doubt. It is gentle, but gentle is not the same as inert.
Our Triphala Churna is milled from fruit rind only — no seed filler — and batch-tested before release.
