water.

recommended dosage, so the best is to recognize the dosage that works for you.

Triphala powder
is a natural detoxifying recipe. As part of the cleansing process it is not unusual
for toxins to be released from the deeper tissues and go into the bloodstream
on their way to being ushered out of the body’s system. Hence, when many toxins
are released at once it can prompt a ‘healing crisis’. For some people this can
noticeable as nausea, rashes, headache in addition to acidity, diarrhea and upset
stomach.
Remember - If any complications
occur, simply reduce the amount you are consuming. It is best to stop use and
consult a practitioner if the symptoms recur.
