Product Overview
Understanding individual digestive needs allows one to select the appropriate Triphala-based formulation, ensuring balanced and effective digestive support for optimal wellness. There are numerous imbalances that can affect the smooth functioning of the colon, and when individuals experience mild irregularities in their daily bowel discharge, Triphala helps by re-establishing the intelligence of the colon and supporting natural bowel evacuation.
Unlike other natural or synthetic laxatives that forcibly induce bowel movements, Triphala works by enhancing the body's own intelligence to regulate elimination processes. It does not take over the colon’s function but instead helps restore its ability to function independently, making it a superior Ayurvedic approach to digestive health.
However, even this gentle classical Triphala formula, made with Amla (Indian gooseberry), Haritaki (Terminalia chebula), and Bibhitaki (Terminalia bellirica), may be too strong for individuals with high Pitta constitutions. High Pitta Triphala Capsules, an SVAFF formulation by Vaidya Rama Kant Mishra, have been created to offer a cooling variation by incorporating rose and fennel to soothe Pitta while still supporting detoxification and bowel regularity. The addition of slightly less mature Haritaki ensures a milder action that does not aggravate excess heat.
For individuals with chronic slow bowel movements or a disconnect between Prana Vata (which governs the mind) and Apana Vata (which governs the colon), Prakrit Capsules, another SVAFF formulation by Vaidya Rama Kant Mishra, offer a specialized alternative. This formula features Vijaya Haritaki, a superior variety of Haritaki harvested at peak potency, combined with a micro-dose of medical-grade castor oil to enhance Haritaki’s effectiveness. Unlike raw castor oil, which can induce dependency, this formulation uses castor oil in a subtle, supportive manner to encourage natural elimination without disrupting the colon’s intelligence.
Relevance to Charak Samhita:
- Digestive Health (अग्नि दीपान - Agni Deepana): "अग्नि दीपानम्" ("Kindling the digestive fire.")
- Triphala as a Rejuvenative (रसायन - Rasayana): "रसायनं जराव्याधि नाशनम्" ("Rejuvenation therapy destroys aging and disease.")
- Elimination of Toxins (शोधन - Shodhana): "शोधनं हितम्" ("Proper elimination of waste is crucial for maintaining health, as waste accumulation can lead to disease.")
These principles inspired the classical formulation of Triphala, ensuring its alignment with traditional SVAFF Ayurvedic wisdom.
