Timing Schedule for Ayurvedic Medicines to Treat Constipation - #36021
Hi could anyone reccomend a timing schedule for the following medicines that I bought on your previous advice. The primary goal is to treat bad constipated but I'm not sure how the medicine interact with each other and if they might cancel each other out. These are the list of Ayurvedic medicines but I'm not sure how to space them for maximum efficiency. I do also take mutka vati on a morning, asprin, pumkin seed oil, himalaya Himplasia twice daily. Around 7.pm I take 4 capuses of magnesium oxide to help with morning bowel movemt but I'm still often feeling constipated later in the day which I want to keep stable as it's the best thing I've found to help so far it guarantees a soft bowel movement the following day. So far I have bought the following triphala organic India brand which I take 2 high strength capsules am so it works away from. The magnesium? I don't know if this is right. Trikatu organic wellness no idea when to take? Abayarista juice no idea when to take? Avipattikar churna powder no idea when to take? Erandbhrisht Haritaki no idea when to take

You may take Erandbhrushta haritaki 2tab 30minutes before dinner with lukewarm water.
Hello Aaron I have prepared a well-structured and practical Ayurvedic medicine schedule based on the medicine list you have.
It explains the timing, sequence, and compatibility between your supplements — while ensuring they don’t cancel each other out.
✅RECOMMENDED DAILY SCHEDULE
✅ Morning (empty stomach – around 6:30–7:00 AM)
👉Trikatu Churna / Capsules – 1 capsule or ¼ tsp powder with lukewarm water. ( Stimulates Agni, clears Ama, and prepares the gut for better digestion.) (If it feels too heating, take after light breakfast instead.)
👉 Muktā Vati (your usual) – continue as prescribed.
✅ Before Lunch (12:00–12:30 PM)
Avipattikar Churna – ½ tsp mixed with a little warm water. ( Improves digestion, reduces acidity, and supports easy stool passage.) (Best taken before meals if you have heavy digestion or acid reflux; after meals if acidity is mild.)
✅Evening (around 6:30–7:00 PM, with your Magnesium Oxide)
You may continue Magnesium Oxide as you mentioned — it softens stool for next morning. Ayurvedically, it acts similarly to mild Virechana (purgation), so it’s fine to combine with Haritaki-based herbs.
✅At Bedtime (around 9:00–9:30 PM)
1. Erand Bhrishta Haritaki – (½ tsp) with warm water or warm milk. (Excellent mild laxative that promotes natural peristalsis and detox.) (If stool becomes too loose, reduce to alternate nights.)
2. Triphala Capsules (Organic India) – continue 2 capsules at bedtime with warm water. ( Gentle detox, balances all doshas, supports bowel regularity.) (Triphala and Erand Haritaki work synergistically, not antagonistically.)
✅ Optional (if constipation still persists or digestion feels heavy)
👉Abhyarishta – 15–20 ml with equal amount of water after dinner. Herbal digestive & mild laxative; can be used along with bedtime herbs for 2–3 weeks, then stop once bowels normalize.
✅ Compatibility Notes
✅ Can be combined safely with:
Magnesium oxide (space 1–2 hrs before herbal laxatives). Muktavati (no interference). Aspirin & Pumpkin seed oil (take these with meals; keep Ayurvedic herbs 1–2 hrs apart). Himalaya Himplasia (continue after meals as prescribed).
❌ Avoid taking together:
Trikatu and Avipattikar at the same time (both heating). Abhyarishta and Avipattikar in same dose window — space them by 4–6 hours if using both.
Hope so i have cleared all your confusion😊
