Living with IBS (Irritable Bowel Syndrome) or an irritable gut can be exhausting—physically and emotionally. Bloating, irregular bowel movements, and abdominal discomfort often disrupt sleep and daily life. While modern medicine focuses on symptom management, Ayurveda offers a holistic solution rooted in digestive health, detox, and mind-body balance.
At the heart of this approach is a simple, age-old formula: Triphala. Discover how Triphala, taken at night, can be your best ally in calming IBS symptoms naturally.
Fiber vs. Irritants: The Ayurvedic Perspective
Not all fiber is equal—especially when it comes to a sensitive gut. While insoluble fiber from raw salads or processed cereals can worsen bloating and cramps, Ayurveda recommends gentle, soluble fiber that soothes and nourishes the digestive tract.
Triphala, made from three fruits—Haritaki, Bibhitaki, and Amalaki—is a natural source of mild fiber that supports regular elimination without irritation.
The Gut-Brain Connection
Ayurveda recognizes the gut as the ‘second brain.’ Stress, anxiety, and emotional imbalance directly affect digestion and elimination. IBS is often worsened by an overactive nervous system or chronic worry, which disrupts the body’s internal rhythms.
Triphala not only regulates bowel movements but also calms the gut by balancing Vata dosha—the energy responsible for movement and nervous activity.
Triphala: Your Night-Time Gut Healer
Taking Triphala at night gives your digestive system a gentle cleanse while you sleep. It helps detox the colon, improves nutrient absorption, and supports liver function.
How to use:
• Mix 1 tsp of Triphala churna in warm water and drink 30 minutes before bed
• Alternatively, take 1–2 Triphala tablets with warm water

Buttermilk: Your Daytime Digestive Ally
While Triphala works overnight, spiced buttermilk supports digestion during the day. It balances gut flora, cools excess Pitta, and helps reduce bloating and acidity.
How to make it:
• Mix 1/4 cup plain yogurt with 3/4 cup water
• Add roasted cumin powder, a pinch of salt, and fresh coriander
• Drink mid-morning or post-lunch
