No bael isn't useful in constipation. Tab. Yashtimadhu 2-0-2 Erandbhrushta haritaki 0-0-3 with lukewarm water at bedtime. Increase intake of raw vegetables and fruits.

Bel churna, derived from the Bael fruit (Aegle marmelos), indeed can be used for both dysentery and constipation. Its unique properties make it versatile, but it's crucial to use it correctly for the specific condition you are targeting. In Ayurvedic terms, Bel helps to balance the Vata and Kapha doshas which can be a factor in constipation, due to its slightly astringent and sweet properties. In cases of constipation, Bel churna can be beneficial, though often it's more effective when combined with other herbs like Triphala. Taking 1-2 teaspoons of Bel churna at bedtime with warm water or alongside another digestive aid could help improve bowel movements. However, this isn't a one-size-fits-all remedy, as individual pitta levels and Agni (digestive fire) should be considered. For dysentery, Bel is well-known for its astringent properties, helping to firm stools. This difference in usage often leads to the confusion you're experiencing, but indeed, Bel can help in easing constipation if used mindfully. Comparing Bel Churna to Bel Sharbat, the Sharbat is more hydrating and cooling. It can soothe the gut lining, and is less astringent than the powdered form, thus it may indeed work better for some individuals with constipation. Ideally, take Bel Sharbat in the mornings on an empty stomach to help lubricate and promote smooth bowel movements. Always consider dietary factors too, with plenty of water intake and a diet high in fibers, like fruits and vegetables. If constipation persists, exploration of other underlying causes with a healthcare provider is wise. Consult an Ayurvedic practitioner if you are unsure of your dosha type or the best approach to rebalancing your system. Remember, moderation and balance is key in Ayurveda.
