Shreevanam - The Food Forest - Diaries 🍀🍀🍀
Triphala means three fruits.
Traditionally called Haritaki, Bhibhitaki and Amalaki in Ayurveda, it is one of the oldest comprehensive health supplements known to man. It is believed to boost immunity, improve digestion, and act as a powerful antioxidant.
For thousands of years, Triphala has been used to treat constipation, inflammation, and skin conditions. It is available in many forms such as powder (churna), capsules, and oils.
The grand dream was always to grow Triphala, and that’s how these trees were planted 8 years ago. Like raising children, we don’t know how the years flew by—and now, in this lovely food forest, all three are grown and fruiting. Truly amazing. 🌱
