About Tri-Phala (3 Fruit Compound) – Rejuvenative for all Bodily Tissues, Anti-Oxidant, Detox

An important herbal compound in the Ayurvedic pharmacopoeia is called Triphala. It is the dried form of three fruits – all indigenous to India. They are: Haritaki in Sanskrit (He Zi in Mandarin) = Chebulic myrobalan in Latin, Amalaki in Sanskrit (An Mwo Le in Mandarin) = Emblica officinalis, and Bhibitaki = Beleric myrobalan. Haritaki has been called the destroyer of disease. Sacred in Tibet and the Himalayas, it is found in the Medicine Master Buddha’s (Namo Bhaisajya Guru) right hand and his alms bowl. It is useful in many disorders, including constipation, headache, dyspepsia (stomach ache), gas, bloating, skin conditions, eczema, cough, bronchitis, hiccough, diabetes, eye rejuvenative (as eye wash), hemorrhoids, worms, edema, yeast infection (douche OK too), hepatitis, enlarged liver, biliousness, splenomegaly, kidney stones, tumors, and ascites. While it is balancing to all three doshas (vata, pitta, and kapha), it is particularly useful in balancing vata. It has an action which promotes the clearing of all channels in the body.
