Hi Everyone! As we continue to see COVID-19 cases surge, we are concerned for the well-being of the world. In addition to wearing masks, washing hands, and taking other safety protocols, it is also important to make sure our immune systems are functioning at their full capacity.
This week we want to spotlight an ingredient in our Immunity Powder to put your minds at ease:
TRIPHALA
Triphala, the Sanskrit word for “three fruits,” is an herbal blend used in Ayurvedic medicine for thousands of years.
The three fruits—Indian gooseberry, Black myrobalan, Belleric myrobalan—are native to India and are believed to benefit the body, mind, and spirit. In addition to having antibacterial, anti-fungal and anti-inflammatory properties, Triphala can benefit us in the following ways:
- Detoxification
