Given your symptoms of bloating, fatigue, and food cravings, it sounds like there might be an imbalance in your doshas, particularly with kapha and potentially vata. Thriphala Kolakolathadi Udvarthana Churna indeed has properties that may benefit digestion and help with cleansing. However, if it’s not yielding results, let’s consider a more tailored approach.
First, it’s important to note that udvarthana forms are intended primarily for external use in massage, to invigorate the skin and help with kapha imbalance, rather than for ingestion. If you’re consuming a powdered churna, ensure it’s specifically formulated for internal use. For internal digestion issues, traditional triphala churna might be more appropriate. It supports agni (digestive fire) and gently detoxifies.
For dosing, typically start with 1/2 to 1 teaspoon of triphala churna mixed with warm water at bedtime. However, each person is different, so it’s worth consulting directly with an Ayurvedic practitioner to narrow down the dosage that works for your constitution and whether an internal or external approach is necessary.
Regarding the fatigue and junk food cravings, they might be signals pointing to a deeper imbalance. Integrating regular activities like light physical exercise or yoga, particularly post-meal walks, can support both digestion and kapha balance. Meals should ideally be eaten fresh, warm, and balanced with the six tastes (sweet, sour, salty, bitter, pungent, astringent). Avoid cold, heavy, or overly processed foods as they can aggravate kapha and slow down metabolism, thus contributing to bloat and fatigue.
Lastly, if symptoms persist or worsen, please seek a professional consultation. This ensures the advice accounts for your personal prakriti and current health status, keeping safety a priority. Remember, it’s crucial not to let severe symptoms go unchecked, as ongoing digestive issues can affect overall health.
