Triphala: The Miraculous Ayurvedic Recipe

Here we go again! Autumn is back, and with it, the increased hair loss.
So here's a valuable ally for this change of seasons! A blend of herbs whose recipe dates back to an ancient Ayurvedic tradition and which, among its countless properties, has that of giving more strength to the hair: the Triphala .

Triphala (a Sanskrit term meaning literally "the three fruits") is one of the best-known compounds in Ayurvedic medicine and is widely used in traditional Indian medicine. It is composed of the fruits of three plants native to India: Amla or Amalaki , Terminalia Bellerica or Bibhitaki , and Terminalia Chebula or Haritaki .

The earliest references to the use of Triphala can be found in the The Sushruta Samhita , an ancient Sanskrit text dating back to around the 6th century BC, is one of the foundational texts of Ayurveda. This blend is therefore one of the oldest and most widely used herbal remedies in the world .
In Europe, its knowledge and spread date back to the Middle Ages when, thanks to translations, Eastern medical, herbal and philosophical works became accessible.

According to Ayurveda, the success of this mixture is linked to its ability to rebalance the Dosha , meaning the vital and energetic centers of the body. Dosha I am Vata, Pitta and Kapha and each corresponds to an area of the body. By keeping these three centers in balance, beneficial effects are obtained on the health of the body and also of the spirit.

Triphala also appears to contain 5 of the 6 tastes recognized in Ayurveda: sweet, sour, bitter, pungent, and astringent. It is therefore only lacking the salty taste.

Let's take a closer look at the valuable ingredients of this mixture:

The Amalekites It is the Indian gooseberry and is considered a fruit with strong antioxidant properties, as it contains a very high amount of vitamin C (more than twenty times that present in an orange).
According to Ayurvedic tradition, it rebalances the Pitta Dosha .
Haritaki , called Buddha's herb because it is highly revered in Tibet. It controls the Vata Dosha and has a purifying action.
Bibhitaki , considered a bronchodilator in Indian medicine, physiologically controls the Kapha Dosha .

In Ayurvedic medicine, this mixture (intended as a food supplement) is widely used to prevent the onset of various diseases , particularly those related to the digestive, circulatory, and respiratory systems.
Furthermore, due to its strong antioxidant and soothing properties, it also has positive effects on the immune system, and it is used for oropharyngeal infections, eye irritations, or in case of skin burns.

According to Indians, it is so "miraculous" that it is compared to a mother taking care of her children, so much so that a saying goes something like: "Don't worry as long as there's Triphala!"

Clearly, these uses are linked to traditional Indian medicine, and we absolutely do not recommend using Triphala for such problems ; we recommend it for its enormous potential as a cosmetic treatment for skin and hair, therefore for external use.

Our blend is designed for application to skin and hair and, thanks to its countless active ingredients, is an excellent remedy to give strength and tone to the hair . It is particularly suitable for those with fine, fragile, and stressed hair. It restores body to the hair shaft, making it healthier and stronger, and therefore reducing hair loss over time.

Thanks to its nourishing and antioxidant properties, it is also excellent for use as a face mask: it leaves the skin looking more radiant, toned, and supple.

Triphala will therefore be the best friend of our beauty during the "chestnut season"!
