Triphaladi Choornam is another traditional Ayurvedic formulation that combines the benefits of Triphala (a well-known Ayurvedic remedy) with additional herbs. It is used for a variety of health conditions, particularly those related to digestion, respiratory health, and metabolic disorders.
Composition:
The core ingredient is Triphala, which is a blend of three fruits:
- Amalaki (Emblica officinalis) – Indian gooseberry, rich in Vitamin C, supports digestion and boosts immunity.
- Bibhitaki (Terminalia bellirica) – Supports respiratory health and has detoxifying properties.
- Haritaki (Terminalia chebula) – Known for its laxative effect and ability to improve digestion.
In addition to Triphala, Triphaladi Choornam may also contain:

Benefits:
- Gentle detoxification: Regular use can help cleanse the digestive system.
