Haritaki (Terminalia chebula), Vibhitaki (Terminalia bellerica), and Amalaki (Emblica officinalis) are the three myrobalans collectively known as Triphala. The noteworthy property of Triphala is its Rasayana (rejuvenating) action. Together they increase the levels of collagen and elastin, increase cellular antioxidants, reduce hyperpigmentation, and thus act as an efficient anti-aging factor. It balances all three doshas (Vata, Pitta, and Kapha) and maintains internal equilibrium. Haritaki has anti-inflammatory properties that help cure infections. It also reduces the redness and blemishes of the skin and is an effective wound healer. All the Sanskrit synonyms of Amalaki mean either ‘nurse’ or ‘mother’. As the names suggest, it nurses your skin tissues tenderly and molds them into their best form. Being used for centuries, Amalaki is proven to be the promoter of healthy skin and therefore, keeps it young and fresh. It is rich in antioxidants that help to get rid of toxic free radicals that affect the skin.

Ayurveda categorizes Bhringaraja as one of the Keshya (hair growth booster) drugs, as it helps in the growth of strong, lush hair and prevents premature greying by strengthening the follicles and alleviating scalp itching.
