Ruth, Another EXCELLENT herbal remedy is one called Triphala Internal Cleanser. It is an Ayurvedic Compound (1000 MG). I learned about Triphala from a very knowledgeable woman in my Lyme Group, and ever since I started taking it, miracles began to happen in my intestines. Now I wouldn't be without it, because it truly is one of those herbs that works wonders. By the way, Michael Tierra is highly regarded in the healing community. Sasha <SNIP> "Triphala provided protection gainst both gastrointestinal and hemopoetic death" Triphala, according to Dr Michael Tierra, a practicing herbalist and author of The Wonders of Triphala: Ayurvedic Formula for Internal Purification, is "one of the safest and most strengthening of the cleansing herb formulas; it gently promotes internal detoxification of all conditions of stagnation and excess while improving digestion and assimilation." He adds: "It has been shown to be an effective blood purifier that stimulates bile secretion as it detoxifies the liver. Triphala benefits circulation, improves digestion and regulates elimination without causing any laxative dependency. Triphala is also taken for all eye disorders including the treatment of conjunctivitis, progressive myopia, early stages of glaucoma and cataracts. Triphala can be highly effective in removing stagnation of both the liver and intestines and is one of the greatest and most popular rejuvenators in ayurvedic medicine; it helps to aid the body's natural detoxification and elimination processes without weakening systems or becoming habit forming." No wonder, observes Dr. Tierra, in India there is a saying comparing the importance of triphala to that of a mother. In `A Botanical Approach to the Treatment of Cancer' Tierra claims that Triphala is a herbal formula to maintain balanced elimination and detoxification. He notes that Triphala "is widely regarded as a purgative and laxative but in fact it is considered a rasayana and rejuvenator. Its special value, therefore, is both as a regulator of elimination as well as rejuvenator of the whole body." What is Triphala Triphala is a combination of the dried fruits of Terminalia chebula, Terminalia belerica, and Emblica officinalis in equal proportions. These are popularly known in India as harad, behada and amla. Harada and behada have a warm energy, while amla is cool. Triphala, being a combination of all three, is therefore balanced, making it useful as an internal cleansing, detoxifying formula for everyone including more sensitive type individuals and vegetarians. This formula and its individual ingredients are highly valued in Ayurveda, being compared to a "good manager of the house," aiding digestion, nutrient absorption and body metabolism. According to Ayurvedic practitioners, daily use of triphala promotes normal appetite, good digestion, the increase of red blood cells and hemoglobin, and removal of undesirable fat. Triphala is very beneficial for creating a favorable chemical environment for the proliferation of beneficial intestinal bacteria and an unfavorable environment for non-beneficial intestinal bacteria. Of primary importance is the use of triphala as a bowel regulator. It is considered as safe as food and is not habit forming, even when taken on a daily basis. Since triphala is a tonic, cleanser and blood purifier, there is still one other important use for it and that is as a strengthener of the eyes, useful for cataracts, conjunctivitis and glaucoma. Triphala can be used as daily eyewash to strengthen vision, counteract many eye defects and eliminate redness and soreness. Practitioners of Traditional Chinese Medicine claim that Triphala will also eliminate what is called deficient heat in Chinese medicine. This is a feeling of heat and burning on the chest, legs, palms and/or soles of the feet, all representing a B-vitamin deficiency in Western medicine. Triphala taken regularly will promote absorption and utilization of the B vitamins and will completely relieve the symptoms of deficient heat. <SNIP>
