Yes, triphala churna can be used for a 3-year-old for constipation, but caution is needed.
How to use: Give 1/4 to 1/2 teaspoon of triphala churna with warm water or milk at night. Start with a small dose to see how your child responds.
If constipation persists for more than a few weeks, or if there’s pain, vomiting, or blood in stool, consult a pediatrician.
