'''Triphala''' 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).
== In traditional Ayurvedic medicine, Triphala is used for:==
#immune system stimulation<ref name="uses"/>
#improvement of digestion
#relief of constipation
#treatment of eye diseas.
These health claims have not been yet tested in clinical trials on humans. Even within the practice of Ayurvedic medicine, there are controversies about the composition (amlaki, haritaki and bibhitaki), preparation, and medicinal uses of Triphala.<ref name="uses2"/>
