how to make triphala at home - #25301

Ellie

I am struggling with my digestion lately, and I keep hearing about triphala and its benefits. Was just at my friend's place, and she was raving about how triphala has completely transformed her gut health. I got curious, and now I wanna know how to make triphala at home! Like, is it super complicated or can I do it with just a few ingredients? I’ve read that it’s usually a blend of three fruits, but I’m not sure if I should go after dried versions or fresh ones. Also, I don't really have a lot of fancy equipment, just a blender and some jars in my kitchen. Do you really need to have those special tools or what? I've also been thinking about the proportions; do you have to measure them perfectly? Or can I just wing it a bit? Maybe mix them according to taste? Any tips on how to make triphala at home that actually taste good would be awesome too! Thanks in advance, guys!

I began my professional journey as a Duty Doctor at VBR Multispeciality Hospital, where I had the opportunity to manage a wide range of patient cases across various departments. This experience laid the foundation for my clinical approach—rooted in attentiveness, responsibility, and a deep respect for integrative healing systems. In 2021, I took a significant step forward by establishing my own practice, Prakriti Healthcare, with the vision of offering personalized and holistic Ayurvedic care. Through this clinic, I have been able to work closely with patients struggling with chronic illnesses, lifestyle-related disorders, and stress-related health conditions. My approach combines classical Ayurvedic principles with modern-day practicality, making healing accessible and sustainable for each individual. In September 2023, I joined Wellness by Heartfulness as an Ayurvedic Physician. This role has further enhanced my ability to provide community-based, preventive healthcare grounded in mindfulness, sattvic living, and traditional Ayurvedic therapies. It has also allowed me to work within a multi-disciplinary wellness model that emphasizes harmony between mind, body, and spirit. Most recently, in February 2025, I was honored to take on the role of Medical Reviewer at PharmEasy, where I contribute to ensuring the medical accuracy and relevance of healthcare content. This opportunity allows me to bridge clinical knowledge with patient education, helping people make informed health decisions online. My journey so far reflects a commitment to both traditional wisdom and evidence-based practice. Whether it’s through direct patient care or medical writing, my goal remains the same: to promote healing that is personalized, preventive, and empowering.

Creating triphala at home is quite simple and can be done with basic kitchen tools like a blender and jars. Triphala literally means "three fruits" and constitutes amla (Emblica officinalis), haritaki (Terminalia chebula), and bibhitaki (Terminalia bellirica). The traditional ratio is equal parts of each fruit, so about 1:1:1. It’s not necessary to be absolutely precise, but maintaining this balance is ideal for achieving the full spectrum of benefits triphala has to offer. Dried fruits are recommended over fresh ones. This isn't just convenient; drying preserves the essential properties you want. You’ll need to find good quality, organic dried versions of these fruits. If you have access to a natural or organic store that stocks Ayurvedic herbs, or online retailers specializing in Ayurvedic products, these are often available. Here's a simple step-by-step: Rinse any residue from the dried fruits and dry them thoroughly. If not pre-ground, break it into smaller bits before blending; you may have to blend each separately to ensure they're pulverized to a fine powder. If you have a small blender, doing this in batches might work best. You can store this homemade triphala powder in an airtight jar to keep its potency intact, preferably in a cool, dark place. Taste can be improved, somewhat, though it’s naturally a bit bitter. You can add a touch of honey or ghee to your concoction, if your dosha allows it, or consume it with warm water, which is the traditional way. Take it preferably on an empty stomach in the morning or before bed. Always remember, triphala acts as a mild laxative, promotes digestion, and balances all three doshas but mainly helps with digestive issues by regulating agni - your digestive fire. So start slow and observe how your body responds. Consult a health practitioner if you're unsure about how it fits with your overall health.
