How to take Triphala?

[Guest guest]

 

Hello Vaidyas:

 

I came across 3 ways to take triphala, when I went through various posts on this

forum. I was wondering which is the best method. I have listed them all below:

 

1. Soak the triphala powder overnight in a glass of water. Drink the water in

the morning.

2. Mix triphala powder with warm milk and ghee and take it at bedtime

3. Take triphala powder with honey in the mornings and evenings

 

I am in India now and get Indian cow's milk everyday. Also, I want to take

triphala as a preventative measure -- to regulate my bowel movement and reduce

ama -- not to treat any condition -- though I have an arthritis patient, my

mother, who can perhaps benefit from it as well.

 

Thanks,

Matt

Hello matt,

See as par ayurveda anupan concept the method of consumption of medicine changes

from disease to disease and condition to condition.

Seeing your condition, i will suggest you to take trifala in monrning rasayan

kaal i.e. empty stomach aroung 6 o'clock and at bed time with lukewarm water.

And for your mother, i will suggest with warm water at bedtime alongwith shunthi

and mishreya.

Thank you Dr. Rahane. One follow up question is how much of the triphala powder

I should mix with a glass of lukewarm water. Also, for my mother you recommended

" Shunthi " and " Mishreya " -- once again in what quantity should she take them in?

Is it okay if she uses fresh ginger juice instead of Shunthi powder?

 

Regards,

Matt

Hi matt,

you can take trifala from 3 to 5 grams per dose according to your koshtha i.e.

your stomach power. For your mother, i will advice trifala 3 grams shunthi 1

gram and mishreya 1 gram. Accordiing to ayurveda although the ginger and shunthi

are same at their root, their charachristricts changes from the process of being

shunthi from aardrak. so only shunthi is advisable and not the ginger juice.

Thanks for the mail
