how to make triphala churna - #25614

Sophia

I am really confused about how to make triphala churna. A couple of weeks ago, I visited an Ayurvedic doctor because I've been feeling kinda sluggish and my digestion has been off. They recommended triphala churna as a way to help cleanse my system and support my gut health, but when I got home, I realized I had no clue how to actually make triphala churna myself! I know it’s a blend of three fruits, right? Like amla, haritaki, and bibhitaki or something? People say it’s super effective and all but I tried looking it up and got lost in all the different recipes. Do I need to grind the fruits myself or can I get premade powders? How to make triphala churna in the right proportions? Also, should I be taking in the morning or night? I really wanna get it right because I've heard great things, and I don't want to mess it up! Any help would be awesome!!!

You're on the right track with your understanding of triphala churna—it's a classical Ayurvedic blend of three fruits: amalaki (amla), haritaki, and bibhitaki. Each of these fruits has unique qualities that work synergistically to support digestion, cleansing, and overall health. Let's break it down, so you make it correctly: 1. **Ingredients**: Yes, you need the powders of each fruit. You can either dry and grind them yourself if you're into getting hands-on, or you can buy the premade powders from a reputable Ayurvedic supplier; both work fine. Convenience-wise, the latter might be easier and ensures a smoother blend. 2. **Proportions**: Traditionally, triphala is made using equal parts of each fruit powder. Simple, right? So, you'd use, say, 100g of amla powder to 100g of haritaki and 100g of bibhitaki. Mix them well to ensure even distribution. 3. **Timing**: Typically, triphala churna is taken at night to gently cleanse the system overnight. Mix around half to one teaspoon of the churna in a glass of warm water. Drink it about half an hour before bedtime. 4. **Alternates**: Some folks prefer it in the early morning on an empty stomach, enhancing digestion right at the start of the day. If that's what you're comfortable with, give it a shot to see how it works for you. 5. **Considerations**: Ayurveda tells us everyone's different—doshas, agni, lifestyle all play a part. You mentioned sluggishness, which may indicate kapha imbalance, and triphala is quite balancing in that way. Daily use should kick in positive shifts in digestion and energy levels. Finally, steer clear of taking huge amounts, thinking more is better. Triphala can be potent, so starting with small doses like half a teaspoon ensures you ease into the benefits without upsetting your tummy. If you notice any discomfort, adjust accordingly or consult your Ayurvedic practitioner again. Take care and hope it brings you the cleanse and revitalization you're looking for!
