A Conceptual Analysis on Efficacy of Triphala Madhu Ghrita in Vision Enhancement

Abstract

Triphala composed of Amalaki, Bhibhitaki and Harithaki is a Tridoshic rasayana known for its rejuvenating properties and effectiveness in preventing and managing eye disorders. Ayurvedic texts emphasize the importance of Dinacharya (daily regimen), Rathricharya (night regimen), Sadvritta (ethical practices) and Rtucharya (seasonal regimen) for maintaining health with Triphala being a key component in these practices. The combination of Triphala with Madhu (honey) and Ghrita (ghee) has the ability to nourish as well as protect the eyes. Madhu with its anti-inflammatory, anti-microbial and antioxidant properties complement Triphala by supporting eye health and reducing inflammation. Ghrita (ghee) particularly Go ghrita (cow’s ghee) supports the absorption of active ingredients and nourishes the ocular surface. This formulation has demonstrated potential in preventing cataracts, reducing oxidative stress and improving overall vision. Additionally, the anti-inflammatory and antimicrobial properties of Triphala help manage conditions like conjunctivitis and blepharitis. This article explores the therapeutic potential of the combination of Triphala, Madhu and Ghrita in maintaining eye health and preventing degenerative eye conditions particularly age-related issues such as cataracts.
