What is Organic Triphala Powder?
Organic triphala powder is a traditional dietary supplement that has been used for centuries in Ayurvedic medicine. It is made from a blend of three fruits: amalaki (Indian gooseberry), bibhitaki (Terminalia bellirica), and haritaki (Terminalia chebula). These fruits are dried and ground into a fine powder, creating a potent and versatile herbal supplement. Triphala powder is known for its balancing properties and is believed to support overall well-being.
In Ayurveda, pure triphala powder is considered tridoshic, meaning it helps balance all three doshas—Vata, Pitta, and Kapha—within the body. This makes it suitable for a wide range of individuals, regardless of their unique constitution.
Organic triphala powder has a rich history deeply rooted in ancient Ayurvedic traditions. Originating from the Indian subcontinent, triphala's usage dates back thousands of years. Its formulation is documented in classical Ayurvedic texts such as the Charaka Samhita (~100 BCE) and Sushruta Samhita (~600 BCE), where it is praised for its balancing properties. Over centuries, pure triphala powder has remained a cornerstone of Ayurvedic medicine, valued not only for its potential health benefits but also for its adaptability in diverse Ayurvedic practices, ranging from dietary supplements to medicinal formulations.
Why is ours low-temperature processed?

The Many Uses and Properties of Pure Triphala Powder
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).
- Amalaki – The word Amla translates to mean “sour”. Amalaki has a naturally sour taste.
- Bibhitaki – In Sanskrit, Bibhitaki is known as “Vibheetaki” in which ‘bheeta’ means fear and ‘Vibheeta’ means lack of fear. The whole word “Vibheetaki” means the fruit that takes away the fear.
- Haritaki – Haritaki has been regarded very highly from ancient times by traditional healers and it is rightly called the mother of herbs.
The Properties of Triphala:
Each fruit in the Triphala powder supports the balance of the ayruvedic doshas. Amalaki has a cooling effect, which manages fiery pitta energy. Bibhitaki is good for kapha, which maintains the fluid balance in the body, so this is helpful to get things moving throughout the body. Haritaki has a heating nature but balances all three doshas but most specifically Vata.
Dose Recommendation:
One serving of 1/2 tsp, approximately 1300mg.
