Hi,

Welcome to icliniq.com.

Nilavarai is commonly known as Senna or Sonamukhi in Ayurveda. It has laxative properties. After taking it for a long time, it becomes habitual and mildly irritating. If you are pregnant then you should avoid taking it for a long time. You can take haritaki powder (Chitraka, Amla, Guduchi) 0.11 oz twice a day with warm water after meals to remove your constipation. It is completely safe for you during pregnancy too.

I hope this helps.

Thank you.
