This is no coincidence, as the number three holds special significance in Ayurveda and embodies the three-part approach of body, soul and mind. Ayurvedic practitioners value the effects of Triphala on the body and have been using it for many years. \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eThe three fruits selected for the Triphala by VITALOVE also hold special significance. They belong to the Myrobalan genus, a family of winged-seeded plants. There are several hundred species of these in tropical regions, which have held a firm place in Ayurveda for 1,000 years and enjoy great popularity there. \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2 data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003cspan data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eHaritaki\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003cspan data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eHaritaki is known as the black myrobalan and grows in the Middle East, India, China and Thailand. It bears green fruits, which are a component of Triphala. The fruits are held in particularly high regard in Ayurveda, where they are known as the ‘Queen of Medicine’. Haritaki contains high levels of tannins, flavonoids, gallic acid and ellagic acid. \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2 data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eAmalaki\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eAmalaki is the fruit of the amla tree, also known as the amla berry or ‘Indian gooseberry’. It has long been used in Indian medicine and beauty care. This is mainly because Amalaki has a high content of vitamin C, amino acids, minerals and fatty acids. Furthermore, amla oil can be extracted from the berry, which can be used for hair care. The berries of the amla tree are edible and feature as an ingredient in various vegetable dishes.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2 data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eBibhitaki\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eBibhitaki, also known as the bahera tree, is a tree that grows mainly in South-East Asia. The fruit of the tree has long been a part of Ayurvedic medicine and is particularly valued for its tannins and polyphenols. It also contains gallic acid and ellagic acid. Interestingly, the seeds of the fruit were once used as dice for games of chance.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2 data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003cspan data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eUses: Both internal and external \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003cspan data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eTriphala is usually available as a powder and can be used in various ways. It can be applied both internally and externally to take effect, allowing its benefits to be experienced in different ways. \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eThe herbal blend is best known as a tea and is traditionally used as such. To prepare it, half a teaspoon is steeped in hot water. The tea must be left to steep for about ten to 15 minutes before the Triphala can develop its full flavour. It is recommended to drink the tea in the morning immediately after getting up or in the evening before going to bed. \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eTriphala is also popular as a spice. The powder can be combined particularly well with Ayurvedic soups, but it can also be used to enhance other dishes. What makes it special is that, from a Vedic perspective, five of the six tastes can be detected in Triphala. Only the salty flavour is absent. \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eHowever, the simplest way to take it is in capsule form. Here, the ideal amount of Triphala has already been measured out and packaged, so that, depending on the manufacturer’s instructions, you simply need to take the specified number of capsules with a meal. \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eAnyone wishing to experience the effects of Triphala externally can incorporate the herbal blend into their next massage. To allow the effects to take full effect, Triphala ghee – produced using a labour-intensive process – is recommended, for example. \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eHowever, a massage using the herbal powder is also possible. This is known as Udvartana and, in addition to the benefits of Triphala, has the practical advantage of exfoliating the skin with the dry powder. To do this, Triphala is mixed with barley flour and the mixture is rubbed into the skin using circular movements. \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eAnother area of application for Triphala is oral hygiene. As a component of oral care oils, the herbal mixture can be used for oil pulling. Triphala also has a firm place in beauty care, whether used in washes or as a bath additive. \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003cspan data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eIt is important, however, not to take Triphala daily over the long term. To avoid any unwanted side effects, regular breaks should be taken. Ideally, a course of treatment with Triphala lasting several weeks should be undertaken several times a year.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","products":[{"product_id":"bio-triphalapulver","title":"Organic Triphala Powder","description":"\u003ch2\u003eOrganic Triphala powder\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eTriphala has long held an important place in Ayurveda.
