The Old Ways Can Still Help Us Today
Have you ever felt as though your digestion might be trying to communicate with you in some way?
Abdominal bloating following meals… irregularity in bowel movements… constant acidity flare-ups…
We’ve all been in this situation, trying to remedy digestion with probiotics, antacids, or trendy detox tea. How about the solution lies in a centuries old Ayurvedic remedy over 3000 years old?
Allow us to introduce Triphala Churna, an unassuming yet potent blend of three fruits that works on your digestion system from root to relief.
In this post, I will explain the 10 key benefits of Triphala Churna that make it essential for daily use.
What is Triphala Churna?
Before diving into the benefits, it is best to explain what Triphala is first.
“Triphala” translates to three fruits in English. It’s a powdered blend of:
Amalaki or Amla is anti-inflammatory and contains a significant amount of Vitamin C.
Bibhitaki (Baheda) is detoxifying and supportive of both respiratory and digestive health.
Haritaki (Harad) is known for its rejuvenating and laxative properties.
It also heals the gut and balances all three doshas - vata, pitta, and kapha - in Ayurveda.
1. Natural & Gentle Detoxifier
Harsh cleanses and synthetic detox drinks are now a thing of the past. For your body’s digestive system, Triphala works like a gentle broom.
During the process known as detoxification, Triphala helps remove waste products, referred to as ama, which are stored in the intestines and liver. This is done without resulting in dehydration as opposed to other detox programs.
Those who consume Triphala Churna are likely to experience a feeling of lightness. That is simply the body’s way of thanking you for clearing out the unnecessary waste.
2. Relieves Constipation (Without Creating Dependency)
Triphala works to relieve constipation without creating dependency. Unlike chemical laxatives, which are likely to weaken the colon and create dependency, Triphala stimulates peristalsis, or intestinal contractions, naturally.
The combination of Haritaki and Bibhitaki as per part of Triphala works to soften the stool while toning the gut muscles which results in regular bowel movements.
If you suffer from occasional or chronic constipation, rest assured that Triphala offers a long-term, sustainable solution without side effects.
3. Soothes Acidity & Heartburn
Do you overindulge in spicy food, stress eat, or have late-night meals?
As we saw, modern lifestyles tend to aggravate pitta dosha manifesting as too much ‘heat’ in the stomach. This manifests as acid reflux and a burning sensation in the stomach.
Both of these symptoms are effectively treated by triphala on the pitta dosha, since it has cooling and anti-inflammatory properties that balance pitta and reduce acidity from the root.
Regular consumption of triphala may aid in reinforcing the stomach’s mucosal barrier, thereby preventing stomach ulcers and irritation.
4. Balances Gut Microbiome
A balanced gut is one that has healthy bacteria, since it affects digestion, immunity, mood, skin and much more.
Triphala promotes and restores balance within the gut by boosting good bacteria (probiotics) while eliminating bad ones.
It also enhances natural fermentation in the colon improving nutrient absorption and decreasing bloating.
5. Improves Nutrient Absorption
Absorption is one the most critical aspects of digestion, so nutrients procured from even the best food can be of no use if they're not metabolized.
Triphala Churna has been shown to bolster digestive fire (Agni) alongside enhancing assimilation in the small intestine so that the vitamins, minerals, and antioxidants from meals can be put to use by the body.
6. Aids in Maintaining your Healthy Weight
Did you know, unhealthy weight gain can stem from digestive issues?
Triphala focuses on improving your metabolism and digestion, and removes ama (the undigested food residue) that is sometimes the reason for stubborn fat.
It also helps in controlling appetite, curbing sugar cravings, and managing emotional eating - important if you tend to snack at night.
7. Cures Bloating and Gas Issues
Gas, belching, and the bloated sensation around your stomach area that many people refer to as “food baby"?
These can often be a symptom of Vata imbalance leading to irregular movement in the colon. Triphala helps with balance movement, air, and motility of the gut.
People start noticing flatter stomachs with reduced bloating after 7-10 days of regular triphala consumption.
8. Improves Liver Function
The liver is the body’s detoxification organ, and triphala helps improve its function.
It increases bile secretion, enhances the function of liver enzymes, and protects against the fatty liver problems due to junk food, alcohol, or lack of physical activity.
Think of triphala as a tune-up for your liver so that it can perform its daily functions of detoxification and cope with daily stressors in life better.
9. Soothing Effects on Irritable Bowel Syndrome (IBS) & Indigestion
IBS suffers along with loose motions and abdominal cramps can find relief with Triphala which serves as an herbal soother for the gut.
Moreover, its spasmodic and anti-inflammatory properties can ease irregular stool movements, abdominal pain, and bloating without resorting to strong medications or harmful drugs.
It also helps heal and restore the integrity of the gut lining which is often damaged in patients with IBS.
10. Better Digestion for Improved Sleep Quality
In trying to get a good night's sleep, poor digestion can cause one to toss and turn, feel overstuffed, or even wake up exhausted.
Triphala helps relax your gut-brain axis, soothes the nervous system, and aids in the flow of your digestive circadian rhythm.
When taken at night, it helps cleanse and detoxify the system while enabling sound and deeper sleep.
