According to Ayurveda Thiphala can be taken without any problem for long. The modern studies on gooseberry, which is the main ingredient, has found that in a combination with Hareethaki and Vibheetaki, the potency of Thriphala is enhanced.
Gooseberry is also a reservoir of many antioxidants which has a wonderful capacity to increase the life span of individual cells by delaying the process of apoptosis. This explains the logic behind why it is used as hair tonic as well.
Many a skeptics of Ayurveda tries to see Thiphala as a mild laxative, but in reality it is much more than a laxative. One of the reasons why Thriphala is recommended for daily use is it action is not directly on the gastrointestinal tract; but by action on our higher centers of voiding. It takes more than 8 hours for good action of triphala as a laxative. This helps this herbal medicine to act on our GI tract without disturbing the flora of intestine contrary to other purgatives both herbal and chemical.
The recent discoveries has shown that constipation and blood supply to eye are related which justifies the importance of Triphala in eye disorders.
