Many Amazing Health Benefits Of Triphala Churna (Maansi) [See link]
Triphala is not a standalone kitchen species or herb. Triphala is, in fact, a combination of two Sanskrit words, Tri: three and Phala, which means fruit. This means “triphala” is not one fruit or herb, but three fruits in one, in their dried and powdered form. Triphala is composed of the following three fruits:
These three fruits are dried properly to get the right form, then mixed in right proportions and sold as ‘triphala’. You can also try and do the mixing at home and have your own little treatment pack at home.
Many Amazing Triphala Benefits:
Thanks to the wonderful triphala churna benefits that includes cleaning the gastric and digestive tract, improving blood circulation and nourishing the body from within by providing necessary nutrients and minerals, Tripala helps boost the body’s immunity with its power packed spoon of health.
Regular consumption of triphala also helps reduce internal and external inflammation that one might have due to lack of proper immunity or lack of nutrients in the body.

Some more about Triphala.. (See attached link)
Q: Triphala, contained in MAPI's Organic Digest Tone and a major ingredient in Cholesterol Protection, is one of the most famous herbal compounds in ayurvedic medicine. Can you tell us what it's made of?
A: Certainly. Literally it means "three fruits," with tri meaning "three" and phala meaning "fruit." The three fruits contained in Triphala are Haritaki, Amalaki and Bibhitaki. There is a saying in India that if a vaidya (ayurvedic practitioner) knows how to use Triphala properly, he can heal any disease. It is highly revered in Maharishi Ayurveda. When these three fruits I mentioned are combined as Triphala, they form a very powerful Rasayana. A Rasayana is the most highly refined and powerful herbal and fruit combination in ayurveda, and is known to promote long life and rejuvenation. A Rasayana promotes ojas, the material equivalent of bliss. Ojas is the finest product of digestion, and prevents disease, creates luster in the skin and rejuvenates the whole body.
Besides nourishing the mind and body and promoting longevity, Triphala has many specific effects. It is particularly rejuvenating for the digestive tract, and is a Rasayana for the eyes and the skin.
Triphala balances Apana Vata, the subdosha of Vata that governs the colon, lower abdomen, menstrual flow and elimination. For most people Triphala is a mild laxative, and for that reason it is excellent for clearing toxins from the digestive system. In very rare cases it has a stronger laxative effect, but usually it is an ideal bowel cleanser precisely because of its mildness. In moderate doses it is gentle, and detoxifies the body slowly.
But because it is slow, you can take it for longer periods of time, and then it has a deeply purifying effect. It goes deeper into the physiology and releases the toxins at a much deeper level.

Hi
You have already highlighted so many health benefits of triphala in your question itself. I would like to add something.
According to researchers of the Bhabha Atomic Research Center and Jawaharlal Nehru University, Triphala can induce the death of cancer cells while sparing normal, healthy cells. Scientists of the University of Pittsburgh recently declared at the American Association for Cancer Research’s annual meeting that the use of Triphala suppressed the cancerous growth in mice with pancreatic cancers. Although Indian scientists have vociferously proclaimed the anti-cancerous properties of Triphala for a long time, this is the first time that western medical research has accepted and verified it scientifically.
Though this may come as quite a surprise for critics of herbal medicine, the anti-carcinogenic properties of Triphala have now been proven scientifically, bringing hope to millions of patients across the world.
