Patient's Query
Hi doctor,
My son is 16 years old. He is suffering from constipation. What are the home remedies used to get rid of it?
Hi,
Welcome to icliniq.com.
Tell him to drink plenty of water daily. Give him a more fibrous diet like fruits such as papaya, vegetables such as radish, and whole grains. Avoid taking excessive caffeinated drinks like tea, coffee, and cold beverages. Give him Triphala powder (Amlaki, Haritaki, Vibhitaki) two teaspoons at bedtime with lukewarm water or with lukewarm milk for seven days.
Do not give him anything after giving Triphala powder. Try all these things regularly. Consult a nearby Ayurveda physician after seven days regarding improvement and further management of constipation.
I hope this has helped you. Please feel free to reach me again, in case of further queries.
Thank you.
