Hi ! Yes ! Castor oil works good for constipation. But the usage and effectiveness of the medicine is better shown if it is taken as per your body’s requirement. 1). If you are having only constipation and there are no other associated symptoms like Nausea/ Vomiting , loss of appetite or feeling lethargic etc. then you can surely start Castor oil. DOSAGE – Start with 5 ml . HOW TO TAKE IT - Mix 5 ml of castor oil in a glass of moderately warm milk ; one hour after Dinner. Take only at Night. (NOTE - TAKE SAME DOSE FOR 3 DAYS THEN INCREASE THE DOSE TO 10 ml AFTER 3 DAYS.)


DO’S AND DON’TS– 🚫AVOID OILY , SPICY AND HEAVY MEALS. 🚫 IF YOU ARE TAKING HIGH PRIOTEIN CONENTS OR TAKING NON VEG. DIET THEN BETTER TO AVOID THE SAME FOR SOME TIME LIKE 10 DAYS. 🚫AVOID TAKING RAW VEG. LIKE SALAD IF CONSTIPATION IS SEVERE AS IT CAN INCREASE THE AAM DOSHA (TOXINS) IN THE BODY WHICH WILL CREATE MORE CONSTIPATION. ✅ STAY HYDRATED. ( CONSUME WATER SLOWLY , DON’T RUSH IN HURRY ) ✅INCLUDE MORE FIBER CONTENT IN YOUR DIET. YOU CAN START TAKING PAPAYA 1 SMALL BOWL EMPTY STOMACH (MORNING) + INLCUDE GAUAVA IN YOUR REGIMEN. ✅ ALSO CONSTIPATION LIKE CONDITION OCCURS WHEN YOUR DIGESTIVE FIRE IS NOT WORKING PROPERLY , SO YOU HAVE FOCUS ON THAT - START CONSUMING FENNEL SEED POWDER (1 TSP WITH NORMAL WATER ) AFTER MEALS. ✅ TAKE SMALL MEALS AND DO WALK FOR 15-20 MIN. AFTER DINNER AS WELL. ✅ START PAVAN-MUKTA ASAN FOR 5 MIN. REGULARLY IN THE MORNING & EVENING TO EASE THE APAN VAYU MOVEMENT.

🛑🛑NOTE ---- TAKE IT ONLY FOR 7 DAYS THEN GIVE A PAUSE. AND FOLLOW THE SUGGESTED THINGS AS WELL.


Incase if you do have other associated symptoms like Nausea, feeling of fullness , loss of appetite etc. then take TRIPHLA CHURAN instead of CASTOR OIL. DOSAGE OF TRIPHLA CHURAN – 1 tsp with warm water at Night ( 1 hour after dinner ) ( You can take it till you get better results)


THIS WILL BE SURELY HELPFULL. WISH YOU A GOOD HEALTH.😊 THANKS & REGARDS DR. AKANKSHA SHARMA
