Guest guest Posted September 4, 2003 Report Share Posted September 4, 2003 Dear Sebastian Thanks very much for this and the reference. Sounds useful stuff. Is the Triphala mix distinct from the other ones you mention? I presume Kaishore guggul, Punarnava guggul, and the kancahnara guggal tablets are all different, depending on which other herbs you combine it with.
