• Anal Fistula
In Ayurveda, Anal fistula is known as Bhagandara. The term Bhagandara symbolizes a wound or tear in the perianal or perineal area around the anus and is chiefly caused due to chronic constipation.
Enriched with Rechana (laxative) property, Triphala Guggulu helps keep constipation in check and effectively curtail the symptoms of anal fistula.
• Diabetic macular oedema
Diabetic macular oedema is a common cause of visual impairment in diabetic patients. Oral administration of Triphala Guggulu could show improvement in the thickness of the retina and visual acuity.
• Constipation
In Ayurveda, since centuries, it is strongly recommended for the treatment of constipation. It actively improves the secretion of bile by the liver, which in turn, works on the peristalsis movement of the intestines and liver, thereby enabling smooth passage of faecal matter and wastes from the large intestine.
• Hemorrhoids or piles
Owing to its Vata balancing and Rechana (laxative) properties, Triphala Guggulu helps to treat and prevent piles by boosting the digestive fire and remedying constipation.
• Gout
This formulation extensively helps to clear away the uric acid crystals from the joints thus providing relief from gouty arthritis.
