How to Use Triphala Churna

Triphala is an Ayurvedic herb that promotes healthy bowel movements. It is used as a laxative, rejuvenator and detoxifier particularly for the liver and blood. The term "churna" refers to the herb in its powder form, which is the traditional method of using the herb although it is also available in pill form. Triphala has been used in Ayuvedic medicine in India for thousands of years. In addition to being a powerful laxative and cleanser, triphala has also been used to treat cardiovascular diseases like high blood pressure and ulcerative colitis.
