What is the correct Triphala churna dose for daily use? - #10382
I’ve recently started using Triphala churna because I’ve heard so much about its benefits for digestion and detox. But honestly, I’m a bit confused about the right Triphala churna dose to take. The packaging says one thing, but I’ve seen so many different suggestions online that I’m not sure what’s correct. My main issue is with my digestion – I get constipated a lot, and I feel bloated after meals. Someone told me that Triphala churna can help regulate bowel movements and even improve overall gut health. But how much should I actually take for these problems? I’ve been trying half a teaspoon before bed with warm water for a week now, but I’m not sure if that’s enough. Should the Triphala churna dose be higher for constipation or lower? Another thing is, I don’t know if it’s okay to use Triphala churna daily. Can the regular Triphala churna dose lead to any side effects, like dependency? I’ve read somewhere that taking too much can cause stomach cramps or loose motions, so I want to be careful. I’ve also heard that Triphala churna dose can vary depending on your body type, according to Ayurveda. How do I figure out what’s right for me? I’m also interested in its other benefits, like improving metabolism and boosting immunity. Would the recommended Triphala churna dose change if I’m taking it for general health instead of just for digestion? If you’re an Ayurvedic doctor or have experience with this, I’d appreciate some guidance. Should I adjust the dose based on meals, or should it only be taken at night? Does mixing it with honey or ghee change its effectiveness?
