Triphala is an ancient Ayurvedic herbal remedy. It is made from 3 different fruits that all have a rejuvenating affect on the digestive system. It is tri-doshic, meaning it is appropriate for any digestive disorder and any Dosha.
Ayurvedic practitioners often prescribe Triphala for an entire year for choronic conditions. It is a mild laxative but not habit forming, it won’t create dependency. It has anti-fungal properties, so is great for candida. It strengthens the bowels and promotes the growth of healthy tissue and friendly flora.
As to dosage, that depends on the strength of what you buy. Most bottles will say to take two pills a day. It is usually safe to take more, since this is just concentrated fruit. Take apart from meals, about 30 minutes prior or one hour afterwards.
