Emblica/Terminalia/Terminalia blend
Triphala is a blend of three Indian fruits—Emblica officinalis (amla), Terminalia bellirica, and Terminalia chebula—dry‑dried and powdered for use as a herbal supplement. It is most commonly taken internally to support digestion, relieve bloating, mild constipation, and to provide antioxidant benefits; it is also applied externally to soothe skin irritation and aid wound healing. Triphala is generally well tolerated, but it can cause mild stomach upset or loose stools, may lower blood sugar, and people with diabetes, those on anticoagulants, or pregnant individuals should use caution or avoid it.
