TLDR Triphala is a safe herbal remedy that aids digestion, cleanses the colon, boosts immunity, and may have anti-cancer benefits.
The document reviewed the Ayurvedic herbal formula Triphala, which consisted of three fruits: Amalaki, Bibhitaki, and Haritaki. It was considered an effective and safe laxative and colon cleanser with potential anti-cancer properties.
