About Triphala

Amla

Amla is mentioned as divyaaushadhi or divine plant in Puranas. According to Hindu mythology, Amla is said to have originated from drops of amrita (holy nectar) which fell on Earth accidentally during Samudra manthan, churning of the cosmic ocean. Amla is a known rejuvenator, that has five of the six Ayurvedic tastes: sweet, sour, bitter, astringent and pungent. It is tridosa pacifying, vayasthapana (anti-aging), builds ojas(immunity), kasaghna (removes cough), keshya (hair tonic) and chakshusya (good for eyes). No wonder, it is also called as Dhatri or mother. A rich source of Vitamin C, essential minerals, antioxidants, tannins and flavonoids, Amla is a very commonly used ingredient in many Ayurvedic preparations.

 
Vibhitaki

As the name indicates, Vibhitaki takes away the fear of all diseases. Vibhitaki is believed to be the abode of Lord Shani and is thus planted in Shaneeswar temples and so is never cut down. Apart from its numerous benefits, it helps in strengthening the hair roots, prevents premature greying, improves hair quality, is good for eyes, removes cough and hoarseness of voice. It has an astringent taste, pungent after-taste, slightly sour, hot in potency, pacifies tridosas, improves digestion, increases intelligence, works as a laxative and cures skin diseases.

 
Haritaki

According to Indian mythology, this tree was grown in the abode of Lord Vishnu/ Hari, and so the name, Haritaki. It has been said to have originated when seven drops of nectar fell from Lord Vishnu’s mouth, giving rise to the seven varieties of Haritaki. Also correlated to Hara, another name for Lord Shiva, it is said to have been dedicated to Shiva after its creation, indicating the sacred place that this wonder herb holds in Vedas. In Buddhism, the healing Buddha is depicted holding a Haritaki branch.

 

Called by various names such as divine fruit, king of herbs and supreme nectar, Haritaki without any doubt is held in high esteem in Ayurveda because of its manifold health benefits which include rejuvenation, nervine tonic and improving eyesight. It is a purgative, easily digestible, astringent in taste, dry, hot in potency, sweet after digestion, cures disorders of voice, destroys worms and pacifies Kapha and pitta dosa. It purifies and cures diseases related to rasa (plasma), rakta (blood), mamsa (muscle) and medas (fat).

                   रोपणी त्वग्गदक्लेदमेदोमेहकफास्रजित् || ( As Hri. Su. 6/160)
