Friends, I wanted to share something with you today, something that sits at the heart of Ayurvedic wellness and has stood the test of more than 2,000 years: Triphala.

Many of you already know Triphala as the blend of Amalaki, Haritaki, and Bibhitaki, but what’s especially wonderful is that how modern clinical research continues to validate what the tradition has taught us many moons ago.

✅ Here Are Some Clinical Insights Supporting Triphala

✔️Gut Microbiome Support
A study published in the Journal of Ayurveda and Integrative Medicine found that Triphala increases beneficial gut bacteria such as Bifidobacteria and Lactobacillus, supporting a healthier digestive environment.

✔️Antioxidant Power
Research in the Indian Journal of Pharmaceutical Sciences demonstrated that Triphala is rich in polyphenols that help neutralize oxidative stress, a key factor in overall well-being.

✔️Digestive Motility + Regularity
A clinical trial in the Journal of Alternative and Complementary Medicine showed that Triphala helped improve bowel movement frequency and comfort for participants, without creating dependency.

✔️Metabolic and Inflammatory Balance
Studies have also noted improvements in markers related to metabolic health and inflammation, reinforcing why it has remained a foundational formula for so many generations.

The ancient wisdom has always known that when digestion flows with ease, the mind and body follow. It’s great to see science confirming these timeless teachings.

From Ayurveda to Modern Psychiatry🌿

In the early 1950s, American physicians Robert W. Wilkins and Nathan S. Kline made a discovery that would change mental health care. Their breakthrough didn’t come from a laboratory, but from Ayurveda, the world’s oldest system of medicine.

They studied reserpine, a compound extracted from Rauwolfia serpentina, known in Ayurveda as Sarpagandha. Going back over 3000 years, Ayurvedic healers in India had used this root to calm the mind, ease anxiety, and promote restful sleep. Wilkins first tested Rauwolfia for high blood pressure and noticed something remarkable, his patients also became calmer and less anxious. Inspired by this, Kline began giving reserpine to patients with schizophrenia at Rockland State Hospital. The results were positively groundbreaking. Agitation subsided, anxiety decreased, and for the first time, doctors saw that mental illness could be treated with a medicine rather than confinement or shock therapy.

Reserpine worked by gently reducing excess neurotransmitters in the brain, helping restore balance. Though later replaced by newer drugs like Thorazine, it remains a cornerstone in medical history, the first tranquilizer for psychosis, born from a traditional Indian remedy.

This discovery bridged ancient wisdom and modern science, showing that nature has always held the answers. Sometimes we just need to look back to see how far we’ve come.

Your back is begging for this soak tonight 🛀🌿

For sore, tired muscles, try this simple ritual: massage mahanarayan oil into your back, then slip into a hot bath with ⅓ cup ginger powder and ⅓ cup baking soda. Soak for 10–15 minutes.

The oil nourishes and eases stiffness, the ginger warms and boosts circulation, and the baking soda calms inflammation. It’s a beautiful way to relax, reset, and let your body breathe again.

You ever notice how fast the body reacts to conflict? One word, one look, and suddenly your chest is tight, your stomach twists, your breath is gone. Ayurveda calls this Vata stirring prana, the life force thrown off balance, like a candle flame in the wind.

And science explains this too. The amygdala in your brain is like an alarm bell. It doesn’t pause to ask questions. It floods your body with adrenaline and cortisol in seconds. That’s fight or flight. It kept our ancestors alive when tigers were chasing them. But today, it can be set off by nothing more than an argument at the dinner table.

Love doesn’t move that way. Love lives in Ojas, the deep strength and sweetness of the body. It builds slowly, like honey gathering drop by drop. Biologically, love comes through oxytocin, serotonin, those chemicals of safety and trust. They don’t explode like cortisol. They require time. And so love feels slower, harder to catch because it must be cultivated.

That’s why it’s easy to feel bad fast, and harder to feel love quickly. Fear is a reflex. Love is a practice. But practice changes the reflex. Every slow breath, every act of kindness, every moment of stillness invites sattva and harmony back into the body. And over time, love becomes just as natural, just as immediate, as fear once was. One is a reflex, the other is a practice.

So remember, fear is fast because it’s survival. Love is slow because it’s sacred. And what is sacred must be tended, until one day it becomes the ground you live on, not the peak you’re always trying to climb 🙏🏽🌸

𝕎𝕙𝕒𝕥 𝕐𝕠𝕦𝕣 𝕊𝕥𝕠𝕞𝕒𝕔𝕙 𝕂𝕟𝕠𝕨𝕤 𝕋𝕙𝕒𝕥 𝕐𝕠𝕦𝕣 𝔹𝕣𝕒𝕚𝕟 𝕎𝕠𝕟'𝕥 𝕊𝕒𝕪

I once worked with a veteran who said his stomach always acted up before appointments. He wasn’t eating anything different. No food allergies, no bug, just… knots, tension, and sometimes nausea.

We traced it back, every time he had to tell his story, his gut tightened up first. Long before the tears came, long before the memories surfaced, his stomach already knew what was coming. I realized, digestion doesn’t just start in the mouth. It starts in the nervous system.

Nervous System 101🔅

Your nervous system is your body’s messaging network. It’s made up of two main branches:

• The sympathetic nervous system (fight-or-flight)

• The parasympathetic nervous system (rest-and-digest)

When you’re calm, blood flows to the gut, enzymes get released, and digestion runs smoothly. But the moment your brain detects stress, real or perceived, it flips the switch. Blood gets redirected to your limbs. heart rate increases, digestion slows or stops. Your body’s not thinking about absorbing nutrients, it’s preparing to survive.

The Vagus Nerve: The Link Between Mind and Gut🔅

The vagus nerve is the direct line between your brain and your digestive tract. It tells your stomach when to contract, when to release acid, when to rest.

If that line is constantly jammed with stress signals, your stomach never gets the chance to work properly.

This shows up as:

• Bloating
• Acid reflux
• Constipation
• Loose stools
• That constant “pit in the stomach” sensation

It’s not random. It’s a physiological response to the messages your nervous system is sending.

Long-Term Stress Reshapes the Gut🔅

It’s not just about short-term flutters. Chronic stress alters the landscape:

• It disrupts your gut microbiome the bacteria that manage digestion, immune response, and even mood.

• It weakens the integrity of your gut lining, contributing to inflammation and “leaky gut.”

• It increases pain sensitivity in the gut wall leading to conditions like IBS.

Over time, the nervous system and the stomach stop functioning as separate systems. They become one tightly woven feedback loop. The more anxious you feel, the more digestive problems you have. And the more your gut struggles, the more anxious you feel.

Healing Requires a Two-Way Strategy🔅

You can’t treat the stomach without calming the nervous system. and vice versa.

What helps:

• Regulated breathing (5 seconds in, 5 seconds out) stimulates parasympathetic tone.

• Adaptogens like ashwagandha or tulsi (Holi basil) support stress resilience without sedation.

• Nervine herbs like chamomile or lemon balm calm the system without shutting it down.

• Mindfulness, even in small daily doses, can increase vagal tone and reduce gut hypersensitivity.

• Therapeutic movements like walking, stretching, tai chi, moves both energy and blood flow, and reduces cortisol levels that impair digestion.

In conclusion, if your stomach has been feeling “off,” there’s wisdom in that.

We’re used to asking “what did I eat?” when our digestion is off. But just as often, the better question is: “What’s been going on in my nervous system?” Because your gut isn’t just where food gets broken down, it’s where emotions get processed, where your body keeps score, and where your brain quietly sends everything it doesn’t want to say out loud.
