Results: In addition, numerous additional therapeutic uses described both in the Ayurvedic medical literature and anecdotally are being validated scientifically. In addition to laxative action, Triphala research has found the formula to be potentially effective for several clinical uses such as appetite stimulation, reduction of hyperacidity, antioxidant, anti-inflammatory, immunomodulating, antibacterial, antimutagenic, adaptogenic, hypoglycemic, antineoplastic, chemoprotective, and radioprotective effects, and prevention of dental caries. Polyphenols in Triphala modulate the human gut microbiome and thereby promote the growth of beneficial Bifidobacteria and Lactobacillus while inhibiting the growth of undesirable gut microbes. The bioactivity of Triphala is elicited by gut microbiota to generate a variety of anti-inflammatory compounds.

Triphala is a powerful polyherbal formula with myriad efficacious therapeutic uses for maintaining homeostasis as well as the prevention and treatment of disease. Many scientific studies have reported evidence-based validation of various traditional uses of Triphala. It provides therapeutic value for multiple pathologies. Additional government funding allocations and support are needed for further and ongoing studies to validate its therapeutic uses in human clinical trials and to define the biological mechanisms relevant to this plant-based medicine. More widespread education of the general public and medical providers on clinical Ayurvedic medicine and complementary therapies such as Triphala is warranted to increase awareness of these treatments for both clinical and healthy populations.
