Gastrointestinal Motility
Symptoms of motility disorder
range from mild cases of heartburn
and constipation to more severe
problems, such as chronic vomiting,
nausea, cramping, bloating, abdominal
distention and diarrhea after
eating. The most prevalent form
of motility disturbance is Irritable
Bowel Syndrome (IBS), which fully
accounts for 50 percent
of all patients who go to a GI
specialist.
To increase GI muscle contractions
and improve gastric emptying,
Western doctors often prescribe
prokinetic drugs such as Metoclopramide
or Bethanechol. When researchers
compared the Triphala to prokinetic
drugs they found that Triphala
increased gastric emptying by
86 percent, compared to 76 percent
for metoclopramide. Since Triphala
is free of side effects, the herb
may be a useful alternative to
the prokinetic drugs currently
available.
Additional
benefits
Triphala is also antibacterial
and is effective in inhibiting
the urease activity of Helicobacter
pylori (H. pylori), a ubiquitous
bacterium implicated in the development
of gastritis, ulcers and stomach
cancers. It is also used as Lipid
Lowering, Adaptogenic, Antioxidant
and Antitumor
Side
Effects
Triphala does not have any significant
side effects reported in the medical
literature, but long term studies
are not yet available.
