| 傳統印度草藥-----三果實 Triphala, An Ayurvedic Tradition | |||||||||||||
| | ||||||||||||
 印度草藥的ayu和veda兩字在梵語的意思就是“生命的科學”或 “生命的知識”。印度草藥除涉及如何治病，更重要是預防疾病。 Dravya guna一詞則是指印度草藥學裏對各種物質(包括植物)的知識和理解。“三果實” 早在幾千年前，三果實triphala已是一個經典的印度草藥配方，幫助強化消化道和改善排便。 三果實名副其實由三種果實合成，它對印度草藥學中提到的人體三種類型體質(Tridoshas)都有功效。三果實可改善肝功能和新陳代謝，減少腸胃脹氣，甚至有助於降低體重。這種配方並不會讓腸道產生依賴性，也不影響那些腸道益生菌群。 三果實有輕瀉作用，也是強健身體的補劑。以下是這三個組成果實的簡介： Haritaki Haritaki在梵文的意思是“帶走所有的疾病。”是使君子科其中一員，被譽為草藥之皇，中醫稱其為苛子。 很多有關印度藥師佛的圖像，都顯示祂攜上haritaki這水果，獻給神聖的濕婆Shiva。 它作為補品，有提升智慧和無畏精神。 這果實也有驅蟲、抗氧化、抗病毒、收斂劑、祛痰、通便（非刺激性）、鎮定、輕瀉和作為補品之用。由於Haritaki含單寧tannins，它能幫助調節腸胃和保護胃黏膜。它也有益於哮喘、腹脹、咳嗽、水腫、胃灼熱、痔瘡、消化不良、黃疸、潰瘍和其他病癥。 Amla Amla（ 餘甘子 ）是屬於大戟系。 其俗稱amalaki是“母親”或“護士”的意思，這已說明它的許多藥用價值。Amla 以讓人精神輕鬆、提升愛念、長壽和好運而著名。 這種水果有抗菌、抗真菌、抗炎、抗氧化、抗病毒、壯陽補血、袪風、提升消化、利尿、降血壓、免疫調補、輕瀉等屬性。有加快結締組織再生的作用，也有助提高干擾素（一種免疫細胞）的生產。傳統上可用於改善過敏、貧血、哮喘、牙齦出血、支氣管炎、癌癥、感冒、腸炎、便秘、衰弱、糖尿病、腸胃脹氣、胃炎、牙齦炎、痛風、過早白髮、脫髮、心悸、痔瘡、肝炎、高血壓、消化不良、黃疸、骨質疏鬆癥、壞血病、結核病、眩暈、視力弱和真菌感染等。一些天然成分的洗髮水和護髮素也含有Amla，幫助預防脫髮和過早褪色，而含Amla的按摩油則有滋養特性。一個Amla果實的維他命C含量比鮮橙高出20倍。Amla亦蘊含生物類黃酮、菸酸、鈣、維他命E、多酚類和單寧等營養成分。 Bibhitaki Bibhitaki也是使君子科其中一員。在印度，這水果常與蜂蜜混合服用，以促進眼睛健康。 Bibhitaki被認為有驅蟲、抗炎、抗菌、收斂、消化、祛痰、輕瀉、養生以及進補（特別對大腦和胃部）的作用。Bibhitaki也有助降低血脂水平，從而改善肝臟和心臟功能。 印度草藥醫生常用它來治療哮喘、支氣管炎、便秘、咳嗽、眼睛疾病、發熱、脫髮、喉炎、寄生蟲和膽腎結石等。 傳統印度草藥-----三果实 Triphala, An Ayurvedic Tradition In Sanskrit, ayu and veda mean “science of life” or “life's knowledge.” It is concerned primarily with prevention, as well as how to treat illness. Dravya guna is the Ayurvedic knowledge of medicinal qualities of various substances, including plants. “Three Fruits” Dating back thousands of years, triphala is a classic Ayurvedic herbal formula that helps rejuvenate the digestive tract and improve elimination. Composed of three fruits, it aids regulation for all three body types, or doshas. Triphala may improve liver function and metabolism, decrease flatulence, and even help reduce excess weight. This formula does not create dependence or harm friendly intestinal flora. Haritaki (Terminalia chebula, Chebulic myrobalan) in Sanskrit means “carries away all disease.” This member of the Combretaceae family is also known as the king of medicines and he zi in Mandarin. Images of the Medicine Buddha often show him holding haritaki, a fruit considered sacred to Shiva. It has been used as a tonic to enhance intelligence, wisdom, and fearlessness. The fruit is considered anthelmintic, antioxidant, antiviral, astringent, expectorant, laxative (nonirritating), nervine, purgative (initially or when used alone), rejuvenative, and tonic. Due to the presence of tannins, haritaki helps regulate bowels and protect the mucus membranes of the stomach. It may benefit asthma, bloating, cough, edema, heartburn, hemorrhoids, indigestion, jaundice, ulcers, and other conditions. Amla (Emblica officinalis) is a member of the Euphorbiaceae (Spurge) family. The common name amalaki means “mother” or “nurse” and makes reference to the herb’s many healing properties. Amla is a Hindi name; the plant is also known as emblic myrobalan, Indian gooseberry, and, in Sanskrit, amalaki and dhatri. Amla is reputed to make people feel lighter and to promote love, longevity, and good fortune. This fruit is considered antibacterial, antifungal, anti-inflammatory, antioxidant, antiviral, an aphrodisiac, a blood tonic, carminative, digestive, diuretic, hypotensive, an immune tonic, laxative, and rejuvenative, among other attributes. Amla has been found to accelerate the regeneration of connective tissue and enhance interferon production. It has been used traditionally to improve allergies, anemia, asthma, bleeding gums, bronchitis, cancer, colds, colitis, constipation, debility, diabetes, flatulence, gastritis, gingivitis, gout, premature gray hair, hair loss, heart palpitations, hemorrhoids, hepatitis, hypertension, indigestion, jaundice, osteoporosis, scurvy, tuberculosis, vertigo, weak vision, and yeast infections. This herb is included in some natural shampoos and conditioners to help prevent hair loss and premature color fading and in massage oils for its nourishing properties. One amalaki the size of a plum contains about 20 times the vitamin C of an orange. It is also a useful source of bioflavonoids, niacin, calcium, vitamin E, polyphenols (gallic acid, ellagic acid), and tannins. Bibhitaki (Terminalia belerica) also belongs to the Combretaceae family. It is also known as behada and bhaira in Hindi. In India, this fruit is mixed with honey and consumed to improve eye health. Bibhitaki is considered anthelmintic, anti-inflammatory, antiseptic, astringent, digestive, expectorant, laxative, rejuvenative, and tonic (for the brain and stomach). Bibhitaki helps reduce lipid levels, thereby improving liver and heart function. Ayurvedic practitioners may use it to treat asthma, bronchitis, constipation, cough, eye diseases, fever, hair loss, laryngitis, parasites, gall and kidney stones.
