Is Triphala Good for Constipation, and How Does It Work? - #11913
I’ve been suffering from constipation for some time, and I recently heard that Triphala could be an effective remedy. I want to know more about whether Triphala is good for constipation and how it works in Ayurveda to promote regular bowel movements. I’ve heard that Triphala is a combination of three fruits—amla, bibhitaki, and haritaki—which are known for their digestive properties. How does Triphala help with constipation, and does it also have any detoxifying effects on the body? How quickly does it work, and should I take it daily for long-term benefits? Is there a specific way to consume Triphala for constipation, such as in powder form with warm water, or can it be taken as a tablet or in other forms? What is the ideal dosage for adults who are struggling with chronic constipation? I also want to know if Triphala can be combined with other Ayurvedic remedies to improve its effectiveness. For instance, can it be taken alongside ginger or cumin to help improve digestion? Are there any side effects of Triphala that I should be aware of, especially if I have a sensitive stomach or underlying digestive issues?
