Health benefits

Triphala is used to promote appetite and digestion, increase the number of red blood cells, and aid in removal of undesirable fat in the body. When dissolved in the mouth, Triphala is used to clear congestion and headaches. Other claimed benefits include helping maintain normal blood sugar levels, as well as improvement in skin tone and colour. A popular folk saying in India is, "No mother? Do not worry so long as you have Triphala." The suggestion is that triphala can care for the internal organs of the body as a mother cares for her children. The three herbal fruits of Triphala promote internal cleansing, reduce conditions of stagnation and excess, and improve digestion and assimilation of nutrients. In Puri (2003), Rasayana under amla discusses controversies about the three important constituents (amlaki, haritaki and bibhitaki) of this compound preparation, along with its use in Ayurveda, various preparations made from it and their pharmacological and therapeutic properties.

I wonder if you might be in a position to help me. Lately I have been using and recommending your herbs especially ashwagandha. I have been struggling with a problem for a few years now and done a lot of research on it. But i never seem to come up with an answer. My problem is simple ..... I need to put on weight and cant. I am 9 and a half stone and have been for sometime. I lost a stone weight about two years ago and cant put weight back on. It is simple to find a solution to loosing weight but nobody seems to have a solution for putting it on.I would be very grateful for any advice you can give me. I am a male of 52 years of age and in good health. I am active and do yoga regularly.

Unlike modern medicine, Ayurveda is not about popping a pill.
It is more of a guide to leading a lifestyle healthy for your body and mind.

You should continue with Ashwagandha tablets twice daily with a glass of milk.
In addition you can take Triphala tablets, one tablet twice daily


Along with this it is important to maintain a lifestyle and diet which balances all your doshas.

For aggravated Vatta - you should avoid bitter, pungent and astringent food items like apples, cranberries, pomegranate, watermelon, pears, lamb, pork, brocolli, brussel sprouts, cauliflower, celery, eggplant, tomatoes, white potatoes, mushrooms, peppers, peas, turnips

Avoid white refined sugar and instead use honey as a sweetener.

Nuts like almonds, walnuts and cashews.

The suggested herbal remedies would be Triphala - two tablets twice a day along with Liv-52 two tablets twice daliy before meals. Also drink warm water along with one teaspoonful of honey and quarter teaspoon of ginger juice twice a day after meals. Since your problem is long standing, we suggest you take these remedies for at least 6 weeks.
