Recently, I visited my Ayurvedic Practitioner because I was feeling unusually fatigued, sluggish and foggy. One of the questions she asked was "do you poop everyday".
Well as it turns out, we should be pooping everyday. Our GI tract eliminates wastes and toxins and if we don't poop everyday, then they get reabsorbed back into our bodies. This can cause leaky gut syndrome and a whole host of other health issues. Yuck. Laxatives and herbal stimulants can cause dependency and can hurt our digestive system. This is not the way to achieve a daily poo. Triphala is “Three Fruits” as it has equal parts amalaki, bibhitaki and haritaki. Triphala is a great herbal formula that nourishes the digestive tract. Bonus, it's also good for the lungs, skin, and eyes. Unlike laxitives and herbal stimulants, Triphala does not cause dependency and thoroughly cleanses and detoxifies the digestive tract. I've been taking Triphala for 3 months now and everything is moving along quite well. Be in health. |
