Charaka Samhita - Constipation (Vibandha)

Sanskrit Text

विबन्धे त्रिफला रात्रौ उष्णोदकेन सेव्यते।

English Translation

For constipation (Vibandha): take Triphala powder with warm water at bedtime - it regulates bowel movements without dependency. Also helpful: castor oil (occasional), psyllium husk (isabgol), and soaked raisins. Drink warm water upon waking. Eat fiber-rich foods, exercise regularly, and never suppress the urge to defecate.
