Hindu ‘trifecta’ EASES unbearable constipation (No laxatives!)
Do you struggle to “go” from time-to-time?
If you feel backed up more often than you’d care to admit… you’re not alone.
For decades now, constipation has been one of the BIGGEST gastrointestinal complaints in the U.S…. especially for adults over 60.
And fixing it? Well, that’s not much fun either.
Either you’re buying embarrassing “poop pills” … or taking turbo-charged laxatives that can make your bowels swing the other way toward debilitating DIARRHEA!
Talk about a vicious, lose-lose situation…
Fortunately, there’s a safe, natural way to move past those unbearable bathroom problems and get “regular” again.
And it doesn’t involve taking a single pill… or guzzling back a disgusting, chemical-laden laxative.
There are plenty of herbal remedies to help us stay regular.
But Triphala is a time-tested herbal mixture of three dried fruits used in the popular, centuries-old medicinal practice of Ayurveda.
Literally translated “three fruits” in Sanskrit, Triphala consists of:
- Amala (also called Indian gooseberry)
- Bibhitaki
- Haritaki
These fruits as standalones are packed with all kind of varying nutrients… but when combined they provide a unique combination of inflammatory-reducing antioxidants.
Antioxidants coat the lining of your gut and protect the cells lining it by controlling inflammation and supporting the growth of healthy bacteria – which helps prevent constipation.
Studies around Triphala and digestive health have found that it can:
- IMPROVE constipation symptoms (i.e., gas, bloating)
- And, REDUCE constipation and improve the consistency of bowel movements.
You don’t need to seek out these unique fruits. Look for Triphala in capsule, powder, or liquid form… usually available at most health food stories on online specialty retailers.
Ayurveda practices generally suggest taking Triphala between meals on an empty stomach for maximum absorption.
The typical dosage ranges from 500 mg to one gram per day, but just be sure to follow what’s listed on the product label.
To the ‘regular’ life,
