Hlo,
Your symptoms suggest - Apana Vata aggravation with dryness → hard stools (Mala Baddhata). - Goal: soften stools, lubricate intestines, regulate bowel movement, not force it daily with strong laxatives.
🌿 Ayurveda Prescription
1️⃣ Nityam Tablet Dose: 1 tablet at bedtime With: Warm water or warm milk Duration: Take daily for 5–7 days only, then stop ✅ Yes, you can take today also, but do not continue long-term ⚠️ Regular daily use can weaken natural bowel reflex.
2️⃣ Triphala Churna (VERY IMPORTANT) Dose: ½ teaspoon (approx. 2–3 g) Time: At bedtime With: Warm water Duration: 30 days ✔️ Helps regulate bowel naturally (not habit-forming)
3️⃣ Castor Oil (Eranda Taila) – once weekly Dose: 1 teaspoon Time: At bedtime With: Warm milk Frequency: Once a week only ✔️ Excellent for chronic hard stools
4️⃣ Abhayarishta Dose: 15 ml + equal warm water Time: After dinner Duration: 3–4 weeks
🍽️ Diet Rules (Very Important) ✔ Continue warm water ✔ Add 1 tsp ghee daily with food ✔ Eat papaya / stewed apple / soaked raisins (6–8 overnight) ❌ Avoid bakery items, cheese, dry snacks, excess tea ❌ Avoid skipping meals 🧘 Exercise Morning exercise is good 👍

I CAN UNDERSTAND YOUR DISCOMFORT BECAUSE ACUTE CONSTIPATION WITH HARD STOOLS CAN AFFECT DAILY ROUTINE AND MENTAL PEACE WHEN STOOL DOES NOT PASS EVEN AFTER WATER EXERCISE AND DIET CHANGE IT MEANS APANA VATA HAS BECOME VERY DRY AND STIFF IN THE COLON THAT IS WHY BULK FORMING MEDICINES LIKE ISABGOL OR OSMOTIC SYRUPS MAY NOT WORK FOR YOU AND MAY CAUSE MORE FULLNESS ONLY MEDICINES WHICH DIRECTLY CORRECT APANA VATA AND LUBRICATE THE COLON WILL GIVE RELIEF
ZANDU NITYAM TABLET IS HELPING YOU BECAUSE IT CONTAINS TRIPHALA CASTOR BASE AND VATA ANULOMANA DRUGS SO YES YOU CAN TAKE NITYAM TABLET TODAY ALSO BUT IT SHOULD BE USED TEMPORARILY AND NOT AS A DAILY HABIT OTHERWISE THE INTESTINE CAN BECOME DEPENDENT YOU MAY TAKE ONE TABLET AT NIGHT AFTER FOOD WITH WARM WATER FOR THREE TO FIVE DAYS ONLY
TO MAKE STOOLS SOFT AND NATURAL YOU MUST START SUPPORTING MEDICINES TRIPHALA CHURNA HALF TEASPOON AT NIGHT WITH LUKEWARM WATER DAILY GANDHARVA HARITAKI CHURNA HALF TEASPOON AT NIGHT TWICE IN A WEEK WITH WARM WATER AND VERY IMPORTANT ONE TEASPOON COW GHEE AT NIGHT WITH WARM MILK OR WITH RICE DURING LUNCH THIS IS ESSENTIAL TO REMOVE DRYNESS FROM COLON
DIET SHOULD BE WARM SOFT AND OILY AVOID DRY FOOD BAKERY ITEMS BISCUITS TOAST EXCESS SALADS RAW VEGETABLES EVEN IF YOU ARE TAKING VEG FOOD IT SHOULD BE COOKED ADD GHEE TO FOOD DRINK WARM WATER IN SMALL SIPES THROUGHOUT DAY DO NOT STRAIN IN TOILET SIT COMFORTABLY AND GIVE TIME
IN THE MORNING DRINK ONE GLASS WARM WATER AFTER WAKING AND MASSAGE LOWER ABDOMEN CLOCKWISE WITH A LITTLE CASTOR OIL OR GHEE AT NIGHT THIS HELPS APANA VATA MOVEMENT
AS THIS CONSTIPATION IS ACUTE AND HARD I ADVISE BASIC INVESTIGATIONS TO RULE OUT CAUSE THYROID PROFILE FASTING BLOOD SUGAR SERUM CALCIUM COMPLETE BLOOD COUNT AND STOOL ROUTINE ESPECIALLY IF CONSTIPATION IS ASSOCIATED WITH WEIGHT LOSS WEAKNESS OR PAIN
ONCE APANA VATA IS CORRECTED AND COLON IS LUBRICATED STOOLS WILL PASS DAILY WITHOUT DEPENDENCE ON NITYAM TABLETS SO YOU MAY TAKE IT TODAY BUT START THE ABOVE AYURVEDIC SUPPORT SO THAT BOWEL MOVEMENT BECOMES NATURAL AND EFFORTLESS
Constipation with hard stools usually means vata has become dry and stagnant in the colon and digestive fire is weak so fiber or water will not work in such phase Since nityam tablet helped you pass stools it is fine to use it temporarily … You can take zandu nityam tablet one tablet at night after dinner today also and continue for three to five days only This is not harmful when used short term but it should not become a daily long term habit
Along with this you should start correcting the root cause, take triphala churna half teaspoon with warm water at bedtime daily… This will tone the intestine and help natural bowel movement without dependency …
In the morning drink one glass warm water on waking… Avoid dry foods bakery items excess tea coffee raw salads and very low fat diet Include ghee or sesame oil daily in food… Eat cooked vegetables like bottle gourd pumpkin ridge gourd carrot and have rice with ghee and moong dal Chapati alone can worsen constipation…
Continue exercise. Practice pawanmuktasana malasana… Sudden stopping of non veg can sometimes slow digestion so ensure proper fats and warm cooked meals…
Take nityam today also and start triphala from tonight so that gradually stools start coming naturally without laxatives…
Try taking VAIDYARATNAM BRIHAT TRIPHALA CHURNA 1 teaspoon in 1 glass hot water at bedtime for today. If you get relief in your complaint tomorrow, then from tomorrow night daily take 1 tab ANULOMA DS (BPRL Sagar pharmaceuticals) for 7 days. Try to take 8 glass of water a day. Avoid dry food items at night, for example chappathi should be taken along with liquid rich curry instead of any dry dishes.
Have Haritaki churna with milk ,OD a/f Anuloma DS OD a/f for 5 days
DIET: High fibre food
1.Triphala churna 1 tsp with warm water at bedtime 2.Avipattikar churna 1 tsp with warm water twice daily before meals 3.Nityam Tablets (Zandu) 1 tab with warm water at bedtime
