Common card · No. 323340

Triphala (Hindi: त्रिफला; Sanskrit: त्रिफला, triphalā, "three fruits") is a polyherbal Ayurvedic formulation, specifically a churna or powder, a kwatha or decoction or infusion produced from chebulic myrobalan (Sanskrit: हरीतकी, harītakī; Hindi: हरीतकी, haritaki), beleric myrobalan (Sanskrit: विभीतकी, vibhītakī; Hindi: बिभीतकी, bibhitaki), and emblic myrobalan (Sanskrit: आमलकी, āmalakī; Hindi: आँवला, ā̃vlā). Containing vitamin C, it is considered an Ayurvedic rasayana formula when the dried and powdered fruit are prepared in a 1:1:1 or 1:2:3 ratio. It is one of the most common Ayurvedic treatments in the world because of its ability to balance all three "doshas" simultaneously. Less prominently, as sanlejiang, the drink has a 1200-year history as a kind of fruit wine in China with the non-alcoholic form now being marketed there as a traditional herbal remedy.
