can you take triphala long term - #25163
I am concerned about my health after doing some research, and honestly feeling a bit lost! I've been reading about triphala and its benefits, especially for digestion, which is an issue for me. Like, last year I had this terrible bloating and irregular bowel movements that made me feel downright miserable... I started taking triphala about 6 months ago, and it kinda helped at first. But now I'm wondering, can you take triphala long term? I mean, is it safe to continue this for another many months or even years? I sometimes worry about dependency or if there are any drawbacks. Also, I read that it has detox benefits, which sounds great—yet, sometimes I feel like I’m constantly running to the bathroom. Is that normal? Really wanna hear from others who might've used triphala for a while. Like, are you guys still taking it, and did you see any side effects after a long time?
