''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).
Medicinal use

In traditional Ayurvedic medicine, Triphala is used for:

#immune system stimulation[3]
#improvement of digestion[1][4]
#relief of constipation[1][4]
#gastrointestinal tract cleansing[4]
#relief of gas (carminative)[1]
#treatment of diabetes[1]
#treatment of eye disease[1]

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.
