In this study, researchers from China evaluated the anti-proliferative activities of chebulinic acid and chebulagic acid — both of which are found in the Ayurvedic medicine triphala — against cancer cells. The results of their study were published in the journal BMC Complementary and Alternative Medicine.
Based on their findings, the researchers concluded that chebulinic acid is not only a critical component of the anticancer activities of triphala, but also a promising natural, multi-target and antitumor agent with therapeutic potential.
