Directions for Use
Standard preparation:
1–4 capsules or 0.5–2 grams (approximately ¼ to ½ teaspoon of powder), up to three times per day, or as directed by your Ayurvedic practitioner.
Traditional timing:
Taking Triphala at night before bed, mixed in warm water, is the most traditional approach, associated with comfortable overnight gut transit and morning elimination.
With honey and warm water (traditional):
Mix ½ teaspoon of Triphala with a small amount of Stingless Bee Honey in warm water. Do not mix honey into very hot liquid.
With warm water alone (most common):
Stir ½–1 teaspoon of powder into a glass of warm water and drink, without honey, if preferred.
With ghee (for Vata types):
For a dry or Vata-dominant constitution, Triphala is traditionally mixed with a small amount of warm ghee instead of honey.
Long-term daily use:
Triphala is traditionally used as an ongoing daily tonic rather than a short-term intervention.
Honey on its own:
Enjoy Stingless Bee Honey directly by the spoonful, or stirred into other foods and drinks, separately from Triphala.
Safety:Please consult your healthcare practitioner before use if you are pregnant, breastfeeding, or taking medications. Begin with a lower dose of Triphala to assess your individual response before increasing. Do not use honey for children under 12 months, due to the risk of infant botulism. If you have diabetes or another condition affecting blood sugar, consult your healthcare practitioner regarding honey as part of your individual dietary plan. Triphala's traditional use as an eye wash requires particular care and correct preparation; consult a qualified Ayurvedic or healthcare practitioner before attempting this rather than preparing it yourself without guidance.
