Planetary Herbals, Tri-Cleanse Internal Cleanser Powder with Triphala, 10 oz

Tri-Cleanse Internal Cleanser with Triphala, Herbal Formula
Bulking Hydrophilic Fiber for Promoting Internal Cleansing

Many of today's bulking agents and internal cleansers produce noticeable and seemingly beneficial effects. However, it is important to proceed with care when using such products. While most are beneficial for elimination, they can impair assimilation, or may include dependency-forming laxative agents, such as senna leaf. Planetary Formulas Tri-Cleanse is different. It is formulated specifically to support digestive and eliminative functions without causing weakness or dependency. Some of the most highly respected bulking fibers, including psyllium and flax seeds, are combined with the legendary Triphala combination of Ayurvedic herbalism and with the digestive-supporting, warming carminatives anise, ginger and citrus peel. The result is a comprehensive, balanced approach to internal lower bowel cleansing and bowel regularity.

Tri-Cleanse: The Complete Internal Cleanser
Dietary fiber supplements add extra bulk to the daily diet, ensuring that you receive adequate amounts for optimal elimination. Tri-Cleanse combines the husks of the most widely used bulking agent, psyllium, with three other fibers: flax seeds, guar gum and oat bran.

Flax seeds are highly nutritious, and, like psyllium, become extremely demulcent (soothing and lubricating) when wet. Planetary uses flax seed that has been partially defatted to prevent rancidity. Guar gum and oat bran are nutritive fibers which soothe the digestive and eliminative systems.

Many internal cleansing products rely solely on bulking agents. Though beneficial for elimination, bulking agents alone may interfere with the digestive process. Digestion is considered to be a "hot" process, involving hydrochloric acid, and an active "breaking down" digestive medium. Bulking fibers are hydrophilic, meaning they become very wet and therefore dilute the gastric juices. This is why many people who undergo internal cleansing with bulking fibers complain of gas, indigestion and abdominal bloating.

Tri-Cleanse: A Balanced Combination
The care that went into the formula-tion of Tri-Cleanse reflects Planetary Formulas' philosophy of creating balanced combinations you can depend on. The cooling nature of its vital fibers is balanced by the warming carminative herbs ginger and anise. Bitter wild yam root and tart citrus peel enhance the assimilation of foods.

Triphala: The Essential Difference
Triphala is a uniquely balanced herb-food preparation that has literally centuries of traditional usage within the East Indian Ayurvedic tradition. An honored household supplement in India, Triphala consists of three fruits. Harada is the most widely used Ayurvedic herb, and, of all the herbs in Tri-Cleanse, the most cleansing. It simultaneously imparts powerful toning action. Amla or Indian Gooseberry is sour and astringent, promoting digestive secretions as it tones. It is a rich source of vitamin C, which nourishes to assist the tissue in regaining its strength and integrity. Additionally, its sweet and demulcent properties are pleasantly soothing. Behada, the most beneficial of the three fruits for ridding the eliminative tract of excessive mucus, also stimulates the production of digestive enzymes as it tones.
