Triphala is a time tested, effective Ayurvedic herbal formula consisting of 3 dried fruits. Together they balance each of the doshas, or energy patterns of the mind-body, and support the health and function of your agni (digestive capacity).
Modern science is catching up to what Ayurveda has known for thousands of years. Your gut isn't just about digestion, it's a command center for your entire health:
1. Around 70% of your immune system lives in the gut
2. About 90% of your serotonin, your feel-good neurotransmitter, is produced there, which is why gut health is so closely tied to mood and mental clarity
3. There's also a powerful two-way communication system between your gut and brain, largely mediated by the vagus nerve. And much of that communication is in the direction of the gut TO the brain.
It seems clear that supporting gut health is imperative to overall health and longevity. Triphala can be a gentle, supportive herbal ally during a seasonal cleanse, and/or a daily tonic to promote regular bowel movements, combat oxidative stress, strengthen immunity, and support mood and nervous system.
