Constipation, especially in individuals with hypertension, can be linked to lifestyle factors and requires a holistic approach for relief. While Triphala is generally effective for regulating bowel movements, if it hasn't resolved your issue, there may be underlying factors such as diet, hydration, or stress. To manage this, I recommend incorporating a fiber-rich diet that includes fresh fruits like papaya and guava, as well as vegetables and whole grains. Staying hydrated is crucial, so drink plenty of warm water throughout the day, especially after waking up. Herbal formulations like Avipattikar Churna can help with constipation and acidity, and Triphala Ghrita may be more effective than regular Triphala tablets. You could also try Psyllium husk (Isabgol) at night with warm water or milk for softer stools. Additionally, regular abdominal oil massages (Abhyanga) with warm sesame oil can stimulate digestion. Establish a consistent routine for bowel movements, preferably early in the morning, and avoid suppressing the urge. Given that you have hypertension, managing stress through Pranayama (breathing exercises) such as Anulom Vilom can also support digestion and overall well-being.

Hello Imran, Constipation is of various types with different causative factors. Do you have hard stools or no urge or non-satisfactory stools? Also Triphala can dry the intestines if taken excessively. You can try home remedies like - Boiled water with black raisins, drink the water along with raisins. Have a bowl of ripe papaya everyday. Include spinach, dill leaves, wild yam, prunes, figs, black raisins in diet everyday. Have water boiled with coriander, fennel and cumin seeds. Eat in both meals softly cooked rice added with ghee along with more of curry and vegetable. Avoid roti/chapati. Have buttermilk in lunch added with ajwain.
