Abstract

The concept of Triphala in the literature of Ayurveda is famous. With the term Triphala we should take Haritaki, Bibhitaki and Amalak into consideration. But Acharya Pandit Narahari in his text Raj Nighantu mentioned another group of dravya named Madhura Triphala (sweet three fruits), such as Draksha, Kashmarya and Kharjura. These are also called as Madhuradi Triphala, because they are predominated by Madhura Rasa (sweet taste). This group is predominated by Madhura Rasa (sweet taste), Sheeta Veerya (cold in potency) and Madhura Vipaka (undergoes sweet metabolic changes) and it will act as Balya (strengthening), Brahmaneeya (nourishing), Rasayana (rejuvenator), Vajeekarana (aphrodisiac). Hence it may used as food supplement along with medicine in the management of diseases.
