Triphala is a polyherbal popular Ayurvedic preparation. As both Ayurveda and Western medicine agree that health and disease begin in the gut. In Sanskrit, Tri means three and phala means fruits. Hence Triphala is nothing but the combination of three extremely potent fruits. These three fruits are amla (Emblica Officinalis), haritaki or harad (Terminalia Chebula), and bibhitaki or baheda (Terminalia belerica).
