Dr. Deepak Chopra Endorses Triphala
When Dr. Deepak Chopra talks about alternative medicine, the world listens. An alumnus of the All India Institute of Medical Sciences, Delhi, Dr. Chopra is the founding president of the American Association of Ayurvedic Medicine and formerly a faculty at the medical schools of Tufts University, Boston University, and Harvard University. Considered a new age Guru and a celebrity globally, Dr. Chopra has been a votary of alternative medicine and holistic living and taken on single handed the established medical hegemony and termed the current medical community as legalized ‘drug pushers’. His argument is that though not all prescriptions are useless, but 80 percent of all drugs prescribed today are of optional or marginal benefit.
In a recent article published by the Chopra Centre, Triphala has been highlighted as the queen in the Ayurveda treasure chest. Comprising of three fruits namely Amalaka, Haritaki and Bibhitaki, Triphala has been known for thousands of years to the Indian medical science of Ayurveda as a potent weapon against a number of illnesses.

Ayurveda’ treatise on taste and Triphala
The Chopra Centre highlights one interesting aspect of Triphala, Drawing on the Ayurveda’s exposition on how the taste of food has inputs for ensuring that our body will be in a balanced state. The article highlights how Triphala helps the body achieve equilibrium. The science behind taste as an indicator of well being is that our plasma cells are the first recipients of nourishment as our food digests. According to Ayurveda, the plasma holds all six tastes (or the nourishment associated with each taste) within it. In order to have healthy, nourishing plasma to feed other body tissues, one must try to get a steady supply of all six tastes. Triphala contains the following tastes: Sour, Pungent, Bitter, Astringent, Sweet and the associated nourishment needed by the body. It is this dynamic that allows the taste-holding Triphala to have its unique effect.
Triphala is an active ingredient in Branolia Chemical Work’s ayurvedic liver tonic Livonia and Branolia’s Bellytone. As claimed by the Chopra center on the effects of Triphala on the digestive system remains central in the effects of both Branolia’s Livonia and Branolia’s Bellytone on the digestive tract and in addition for the overall health and well being.
