Planet Ayurveda Triphala Capsule - #27145
I am really struggling with some digestion issues lately and wanted to ask if anyone has tried the Planet Ayurveda Triphala Capsule? I’ve been feeling super bloated after just about every meal, and this has been going for weeks now. I read about how Triphala can help with digestion and stuff, but I’m honestly a bit nervous about trying new supplements. Last week, I even went to the doctor, and they just told me it’s likely stress-related. But to be honest, I feel like it’s more than that. I grew up with my grandma’s remedies and she always swore by natural ingredients, like Triphala. But I’m not sure if just taking the capsules would actually help me or if I need to follow some specific routine. With the Planet Ayurveda Triphala Capsule, is there a recommended dosage or any particular diet I should pair it with? And, I saw some comments online saying it can help not only digestion but also improve immunity—can anyone confirm that? I really want to get back to feeling normal again and not constantly worry about my gut. Any advice would really be appreciated!

Doctors’ responses
Triphala is indeed a well-regarded Ayurvedic herbal formulation known for supporting digestive health. Derived from three fruits—Amalaki, Bibhitaki, and Haritaki—it aids in balancing the tridosha, particularly Pitta and Vata, and can enhance digestive fire (Agni), which might be beneficial given your symptoms.
For the Planet Ayurveda Triphala Capsule, a typical dosage is 1-2 capsules with warm water, preferable at bedtime on an empty stomach. This timing can aid in overnight digestion and detoxification. While Triphala is often safe, it’s advisable to consult with an Ayurvedic practitioner who can consider your unique Prakriti (constitution) and any other health conditions.
To support the effectiveness of Triphala for digestion, dietary adjustments are essential. Consuming warm, easy-to-digest meals can reduce bloating: Steamed vegetables, rice, soups, and light dals can be gentle on your system. Avoid heavy, fried, or overly spicy foods that aggravate the digestive fire. Adding ginger or fennel tea during the day may also soothe and stimulate digestion.
Hydration is key but try to avoid drinking large amounts of water during meals; instead, sip warm water when needed. Practicing mindful, relaxed eating can also reduce stress-related digestive issues—chew your food thoroughly and do not rush meals.
As for immunity, Triphala’s high antioxidant content can contribute, but this effect might be more pronounced when combined with a well-rounded, nutrient-rich diet and lifestyle. Regular movement or yoga, along with proper sleep, plays pivotal roles in maintaining both gut health and immunity.
Remember, if your condition persists or worsens, further medical advice is recommended. Keep monitoring how your body reacts and adjust based on your comfort. Supplements like Triphala can be powerful allies, but they work best as part of a holistic approach.
