Rinsing your eyes with triphala tea is an easy and refreshing way to start your day.  Use the formula below to make the eye wash we use at our center for our panchakarma clients.

Ingredients:

• 1 teaspoon triphala powder 

• 1 cup water

Directions: 

Boil the triphala powder in the water for 2–3 minutes. Allow to cool and strain the resulting triphala tea very thoroughly. You might want to strain it two or three times to make sure that you’ve removed all the tripahala powder (so that you avoid getting it in your eyes).

Fill a glass eye cup with the tea and press the cup against one eye. Tilt your head back, and rotate  the eyeball in every direction to thoroughly wash it. Discard the tea and refill the eye cup to wash the second eye.

Store the unused portion of tea in the refrigerator in a very clean container. Use as often as needed.
