Triphala Powder, literally translated as “three fruits” is a traditional Ayurvedic formulation made up of three fruits native to the region. Triphala Churna is often called the “nectar of life” for it’s cleansing, balancing and healing properties in Ayurvedic medicine. The three fruits this blend contains are Amalaki (Emblica officinalis), Bibhitaki (Terminalia belerica) and Haritaki (Terminalia chebula). The name Triphala Churna comes from combining the Sanskrit words “tri” meaning three, “phala” meaning fruit and “churcha,” which means powder. The three fruits are mixed in equal parts to form the traditional Triphala Churna. It has been used for over 2,000 years as a staple in ayurvedic medicine.
