Triphala ( or ; Hindi/Sanskrit: त्रिफला, ''triphalā'' , “three fruits”)〔 is an Ayurvedic herbal rasayana formula consisting of equal parts of three myrobalans, taken without seed: Amalaki (''Emblica officinalis''), Bibhitaki (''Terminalia bellirica''), and Haritaki (''Terminalia chebula'').〔Ayurvedic pharmacopoeia committee. The Ayurvedic Formulary of India, Part I, 2nd English ed. New Delhi: Controller of Publications; 2003〕 ==Medicinal use== In traditional Ayurvedic medicine, Triphala is used for: *immune system stimulation〔Juss SS. Triphala - the wonder drug. Indian Med Gaz 1997;131:94-6.〕 *improvement of digestion〔〔Nadkarni AK. Indian Materia Medica. 3rd ed. Mumbai: Popular Press; 1976. p. 1308-15.〕 *relief of constipation〔〔 *gastrointestinal tract cleansing〔 *relief of gas (carminative)〔 *treatment of diabetes〔 *treatment of eye disease〔 These health claims have not been yet tested in clinical trials on human. Even within the practice of Ayurvedic medicine, there are controversies about the composition (''amlaki, haritaki and bibhitaki''), preparation, and medicinal uses of Triphala, however, its effectiveness remain unaffected. Triphala has been reported to cause weight loss and to be useful in anemia, jaundice, constipation, cough, asthma, fever, chronic ulcers, leucorrhea, and pyorrhea. Preclinical studies have shown that Triphala is a potent free radical scavenger and possesses antioxidant, anti-inflammatory, antipyretic, analgesic, antibacterial, antimutagenic, adaptogenic, anticancer, and hypoglycemic effects. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「triphala」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
