Churna (Sanskrit: चूर्ण cūrṇam "powder", Pali: चुण्ण chunam "powder")[1] is a mixture of powdered herbs and or minerals used in Ayurvedic medicine.[2] Triphala is an example of a classic Ayurvedic formula, used for thousands of years that is made from the powders of three fruits Amalaki (Phyllanthus emblica, syn. Emblica officinalis), Haritaki (Terminalia chebula) and Bibhitaki (Terminalia bellirica).[3]
