I was in introduced to Triphala years ago when I studied Ayurvedia. Over that time I've had time to really get to know this herb group. For the poo challenged this can be a great help, by adding it to your blender drinks.
Remember this is a safe place for Poo talk ...
"Triphala for Colon Cleansing - In a survey conducted worldwide, Triphala was
considered the best colon cleanser in the world. All three herbs in Triphala
are laxative in nature and very beneficial in removing toxins. Colon cleansing is
an ancient and proven practice for rejuvenating the body. Colon cleansing
helps detoxify and clean decayed food residues and other toxic substances
accumulated in the intestines walls. This not only gets rid of constipation,
hemorrhoids, parasites, flatulence, acne, bad breath and foul body but also
prevents colon cancer. Colon cleansing also
helps to relieve headaches, irritability, and depression.
Triphala,
formulated by Ayurvedic physicians thousands of years ago and used by
literally billions of people since, is considered the most effective and safest
laxative and colon tonic by most health care practitioners. Where other colon
formulas are depleting, Triphala is mild, non-habit forming, and a
rejuvenative. It improves the absorption of food in intestines especially in
the duodenum where most chemical digestion takes place. Triphala also helps to
stimulate various gastric enzymes that help to convert complex food into more
easily digestible form. Moreover Triphala stimulates the peristaltic action of
the intestinal lining (due to its anthroquinones and other bitters) that also
aids in proper movement of food at various levels of the digestive tract. It is
also helpful in making the stool loose thereby facilitating easy evacuation of
the bowel.
Triphala has a myriad benefits primarily because of its
composition of 3 powerful healing herbs. In Ayurveda, Triphala is considered a
'tridoshic rasayan', having balancing and rejuvenating effects on the three
constitutional elements that govern human life: Vata which regulates the
nervous system, Pitta which maintains metabolic processes, and Kapha which
supports structural integrity."
It is so sad that some people are have issues with natural function of the body. I know a family that sees BM's as gross....to the point that all of them have issues with using the bathroom...and as a result they all have constipation problems.
