Frequently Asked Questions

Can you take tonic herbs morning and evening?
Yes — many people split them, using the more energising herbs in the morning and the calming ones at night, as in the two tonics above.

What is Triphala?
Triphala is a traditional Ayurvedic blend of three fruits, long used in daily routines to support digestion.

Can these herbs be combined?
They're often taken together. Start with one or two, see how you feel, and build from there.
