Triphala powder in linganasha

Triphala powder is taken with sesame oil in vata linganasha, with ghee in kapha linganasha and with white sugar in pitta and blood linganasha, and is said to give the eyes clarity, nourishment and excellence. A milk pudding of ripe amalaki and shatavari root with cow's ghee, taken always, is said to make the eyes as keen as Garuda's; triphala juice and cool water are called aphrodisiac, life-promoting and widening to sight.
