Triphala (Chebulic Myrobalan, Beleric Myrobalan, Indian Gooseberry)

Triphala is a polyherbal Ayurvedic formulation, specifically a churna or powder, a kwatha or decoction or infusion produced from chebulic myrobalan, beleric myrobalan, and emblic myrobalan. 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.
