Used by itself or in formulation, Triphala plays an necessary role in the treatment of a extensive variety of conditions. Ayurvedic medicine designates Triphala as a rasayana, a Sanskrit term given to those medicaments that get better general health and prolong life It is so safe to use and so highly valued for its efficacy that a common aphorism among many Ayurvedic practitioners is "when in doubt, use Triphala." Ancient authors noted that it include every taste except salty, and acts to promote a state of balance between the humoral principles (i.e doshas) of Vata, Pitta, and Kapha.
Each component of Triphala has a specific activity on a meticulous dosha: Amalaki fruit is considered to be a rasayana for Pitta (i.e. inflammation); Vibhitaka a rasayana for Kapha (i.e. congestion); and Haritaki as a rasayana for Vata (i.e. degeneration). Triphala is also considered to be a malashodhana, removing (shodhana) the toxic wastes (mala) of poor digestion that continue in the body, called ama. The indications of ama include a substantial greasy coating on the tongue, poor appetite, indigestion, constipation, joint pain, headache, orbital edema, sinus congestion, a feeling of coldness, mental confusion, and lethargy. The routine use of Triphala each morning is consideration to detoxify the body and restore the integrity of the entire digestive tract, with a perfect balance between its astringent (wound-healing), demulcent (soothing), digestive, and laxative property.
Triphala Research and Clinical Studies
There has been considerable medical research conducted on Triphala in India which has indicated that Triphala is a possible detoxifying and anti-cancer agent. Scientists at the Radiation Biology and Health Sciences Division, Bhabha Atomic Research Centre, found that Triphala had the ability to persuade cytotoxicity (cell death) in tumor cells but spared the normal cells.
A new study from the University of Pittsburgh Cancer Institute that suggests that triphala has cancer-fighting properties that prevent or slow the growth of pancreatic cancer tumors implanted in mice. The study found that an round extract of triphala, caused pancreatic cancer cells to die through a process called apoptosis - the body's normal method of disposing of damaged, unwanted or unneeded cells. According to Sanjay K. Srivastava, Ph.D., lead investigator and assistant professor, department of pharmacology, University of Pittsburgh School of Medicine - "We discovered that triphala fed out loud to mice with human pancreatic tumors was an extremely effective inhibitor of the cancer process, inducing apoptosis in cancer cells. Triphala triggered the cancerous cells to get die off and significantly reduced the size of the tumors without causing any toxic side effects."
