Triphala balancing Tridosha:
There are very few foods that can equalize all the 3 dosh -Amla (nellika, nellikai),
Harde (kaduka) & Beheda (Tanikai). All three together is called Triphala. Vagabhatt has
written around 120 sutras on Triphala alone. The ratio of Harde , Behela, & Amla is
1:2:3 in Triphala.
Triphala should never be consumed alone, you can use it with gud, milk or honey.
Consuming it with water is like consuming it alone. And if you consume it alone,
try not to consume it at a stretch for 3 months, give it a break for 15 days before
you start consuming Triphala again or else the body will be used to Triphala (thumb
rule of consumption in Ayurved)
Triphala taken in the Morning and Night has different effects. If 1 large T-spoon
Triphala taken in the morning (40 mins before breakfast) with gud and Honey it acts
as a Nutrient (poshak). And if 1 small t-spoon Triphala taken in the night (after dinner
with milk or warm water) acts as Rechak & helps to cure kaph related diseases
diabetes & obesity. Triphala also helps curing stomach related diseases like piles, bhavasir,
hemaroids, bhagandar.
Radiation has no cure in allopathy but Triphala is helpful here also. For radiation
problems take Triphala in 1:1:1 ratio of Amla, Harde and Baheda. If Triphala was in
America or Europe people would have patented it and made billions of dollars.
Obesity and being overweight is a growing problem. Obesity means lesser Vit C
and Calcium & Amla has lot of Vit C. Have 3 to 4 amlas in the morning 40 mins
before having breakfast. You can also have 1 Tspoon Triphala to get the effect.
It is better to buy Amla, Beheda and Harde from market & make your own Triphala
churan because the products sold in market are commercialized & their effect might
be reduced. Triphala is cheaper and much higher in nutrients compared to
Chawanprash.
