Triphala Guggulu

Triphala Guggulu is an Ayurvedic formulation that provides the combined effects of Triphala and Guggulu. Triphala brings detoxifying and laxative properties, while Guggul provides anti-inflammatory properties. The combined effect of these ingredients helps to provide relief from piles (hemorrhoids), anal fistula (fistula-in-ano), and constipation.
According to Ayurveda, the Rechana (laxative) property of Triphala Guggulu provides effective aid in the treatment of constipation. It works by stimulating the digestive fire which in turn relieves constipation. This further prevents piles and gives relief from the pain, swelling, and other discomfort associated with them. It also helps reduce the symptoms of anal fistula (fistula-in-ano). Triphala Guggulu can also help in weight management due to its laxative properties. It improves Agni (the digestive fire) which helps promote healthy metabolism and releases excess Kapha from the system. Triphala Guggulu is considered safe when taken in the prescribed quantity. It is advisable to follow the prescribed dose for the exact prescribed duration to avoid any unwanted complications.
