It\u2019s a herbal Ayurveda remedy made with ghee. It is also used as a therapy in panchakarma. It has strong therapeutic action on eye disorders. Here, the ghee provides Triphala bhavana, which alters the physical qualities of essential medicine and gives it additional therapeutic properties<a href=\"https:\/\/pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov\/articles\/PMC8415239\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\"><sup>1<\/sup><\/a>.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Triphala is a tridoshic Rasayana, which means its energetics are suitable for Vata, Pitta, and Kapha. Rasayanas, according to Charak, have the attributes of promoting strength and immunity. Triphala can be used in the very young, the infirmed, and the elderly because of these properties and tonic energetics.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Ingredients_Nutritional_Composition_of_Triphala_Ghrita\"><\/span><strong>Ingredients &amp; Nutritional Composition of Triphala Ghrita<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<ul>\n<li><strong>Amla:<\/strong> Vitamin C, vital minerals, and amino acids are abundant in amla. It also contains antioxidants such as phenols, tannins, and curcuminoids, which are potent antioxidants. Antioxidants defend cells from damage that can lead to major diseases like cancer. Gooseberry extract may have anti-cancer potential, according to several in vitro studies.
