I understand your concerns regarding difficulty in evacuating bowels and the need to strain during the process. Your current regimen of Triphala, Dizomap, and Abhyarishta suggests that you are seeking relief for digestive issues. Triphala is known for its gentle laxative properties and overall digestive support, while Abhyarishta can help strengthen digestion. However, if you're still experiencing straining and incomplete evacuation, it may be beneficial to reassess your approach.

In Ayurveda, this condition may be linked to an imbalance in the Vata dosha, which can lead to dry, hard stools and difficulty in elimination. To enhance your bowel movements, consider increasing your water intake and incorporating fiber-rich foods into your diet, such as fruits, vegetables, and whole grains. Additionally, you might explore herbal formulations such as Castor oil (Erand Oil) for its potent laxative effects, Isabgol (Psyllium husk) to add bulk to your stools, and Triphala churnam as a powder for daily use. Ajwain (carom seeds) can also be beneficial, either as a tea or incorporated into your meals to aid digestion.

For additional support, consider Sootshekhar Ras or Pudina (mint) juice for soothing digestive discomfort. If you find persistent issues, consulting with a qualified Ayurvedic practitioner can help create a more personalized treatment plan based on your constitution and specific symptoms, ensuring that your approach effectively promotes healthy bowel function.
