क्या मैं अपने 4 साल के बच्चे को कब्ज के लिए त्रिफला पाउडर दे सकता हूँ? - #49508

YES, Triphala can be given to children, but it is not typically the first line of defense for a 4-year-old. Because children’s digestive systems are still developing, the dosage and frequency must be much lower than those for an adult. Important Considerations Dosage: A standard adult dose is far too high. For a 4-year-old, a very small amount (typically 1/4 to 1/2 teaspoon) mixed with honey or warm water is often the suggested limit, but this should only be done under professional advice. Dependency: Using any laxative (even herbal ones) regularly can lead to “lazy bowel,” where the body relies on the supplement to have a movement. Taste and Acceptance: Triphala has a very strong, astringent, and bitter taste. Many children find it difficult to consume, which can lead to a negative association
