Weight Loss: Add Triphala Tea in your diet to shed kilos and boost immunity

Many of us love drinking tea. It is either part of our breakfast or of our evening snack time and sometimes both the times. This beverage has several varieties, however, we most of the time consume the caffeinated one and the healthier options are ignored. There are many health benefits of herbal and green teas and weight loss and better immunity are two of them. Today we are talking about Triphala tea which is an Ayurvedic dietary supplement for weight loss and immunity. This herbal concoction tea is chock-full of nutrients and health benefits. 

As the name suggests, Triphala is a combination of three fruits i.e. Amalaki or amla, bibhitaki or bhada, and Haritaki or harad. If you are thinking this is a lesser-known and will be hardly available then you are wrong. You can easily buy Triphala powder from any grocery and local ayurvedic and herb selling shops and make tea from it. While many people either consume the powder by mixing it with water, many have churan with warm water.
