Who usually chooses triphala, and in what situations?

Triphala is often included in the diet in the following situations:

• Meals have become less regular or more monotonous — for example, during business trips, a busy work schedule or a change in your usual menu.
• The diet contains little plant food: vegetables, fruit, fibre.
• After a heavy meal you want your stomach and intestines to feel more settled — without heaviness or discomfort.
• An interest in Ayurveda: triphala is considered one of the best-known and most studied basic formulas of this tradition, and many people begin their acquaintance with Ayurveda through it.

It is important to understand that triphala is a food supplement with plant extracts, not a medicine. It is not intended to treat or prevent diseases and is not a substitute for a balanced diet.

You should consult a specialist before starting to take it if you have a sensitive gastrointestinal tract, are pregnant or breastfeeding, or take medicines — active plant extracts can interact with medicines or increase the sensitivity of the digestive tract.
