Doctors' responses

●Yes, triphala is generally safe: It is a well-tolerated, non-habit-forming formulation often used for long-term digestive support. ●Some of the common causes Weak digestive system. Low intake of fluids. Diet containing low fibers. Lack of exercise. Abuse of laxatives. Some medications like analgesics, anti-depressants. Some diseased conditions- metabolic and endocrine disorders, neurological disorders. Psychological factors like stress, anxiety, fear. ●Triphala Capsules – 2 Capsules twice daily with plain water after meals. ●Kumari Saar – 15-20 ml of the juice, to be diluted in a glass of water and taken two times per day. Once empty stomach in the morning and second dose in the evening at least 1-2 hrs before dinner. ●Yakrit Plihantak churna – 1 teaspoon twice daily with water. ●Laxinol-H Capsule with Haritaki for Healthy Elimination-Consume 1-2 capsules at bedtime ●Abhyarishta 20 ml with warm water 2 times a day . ● A cup of chamomile tea at night naturally induces sleep. Nutmeg Paste: A light paste of nutmeg and ghee applied to the forehead and around the eyes helps induce sleep. ●Abhyanga and Snigdhata Night Oil Massage: Before going to bed, massage the head and soles of the feet with slightly warm sesame oil, brahmi oil, or jatamansi oil for a few minutes. This calms vata and promotes sleep.

Hello, The following will be more appropriate than triphala guggulu- 1. Triphala churna 1 tsp at bed time with a cup of boiled warm water at bed time. For 30 days. 2. Hingwashtaka churna 1 tsp with first morsel of food and 1 tsp of ghee after breakfast, lunch and after dinner. For 30 days. 3. Vayu gulika 2—2—2 with cumin tea after breakfast, lunch and after dinner. For 30 days. 4. Castor oil apply to the navel. Follow up after 21 days. Take care, Kind regards.
