Ayurvedic Rasayana - Triphala

According to Ayurveda, perfect digestion is the basis of all health, if your

digestive system functions properly then it helps the other parts of the body

to perform well, including skin health. So traditional Ayurvedic tonic for

proper digestion also acts as the best herbal food for the skin because its

cleansing action is replenishing instead of draining, and because of its

nutrition content, Triphala, the well-known traditional Ayurvedic

formulation, makes an excellent skin tonic. Triphala is one of the most

famous Ayurvedic medicinal herbs. Triphala literally means "three fruits."

The three fruits contained in Triphala are Haritaki, Amalaki and Bibhitaki.

And because Triphala is tridoshic--equally balancing for Vata, Pitta and

Kapha--it is useful for all skin types. It can be mixed with other herbs in

compound formulations. Triphala has the quality to nourish the skin both

directly and indirectly. Amla, one of the three ingredients in Triphala, is

the richest known natural source of vitamin C. Vitamin C helps in the

production of collagen, which is necessary to keep skin supple and thick.

Triphala also contains calcium. Calcium helps enhance skin clarity and

brings dull, tired skin to life.

Triphala Preparation

Mix triphala with equal quantity of madhuka (mahua tree), tavakshir (East

Indian arrowroot) pippali (long pepper), saindhava (long salt), and each one

of the lohas (iron), suvarna (gold), vacha (Acorus calamus) with either

honey, ghee or sugar in equal quantity.

Benefits of Triphala

A rasayana promotes ojas, the finest product of digestion that prevents

disease, creates luster and glow in the skin and rejuvenates the whole body.

Besides nourishing the mind and body and promoting longevity, Triphala has

many specific effects. It is particularly rejuvenating for the digestive

tract, and is a rasayana for the eyes and the skin. It removes ama from the

fat tissue, and balances cholesterol. Triphala also purifies the urine and

prevents urinary tract disease. It enhances all thirteen agnis (digestive

fires), especially the main digestive fire in the stomach. It pacifies Kapha

and Pitta, and if taken regularly, is a powerful anti-aging rasayana. In

short Triphala:

.           Cures all diseases.

.           Bestows intelligence.

.           Gives long life and good memory.

.           A rejuvenator.
