Triphala for constipation
I have had severe constipation for almost a month post my delivery even without the usage of iron and calcium supplement. I used doc prescribed duphalac and a haemmeroid cream and I got relief for a few days. Again it seems to be relapsing still without the usage of my regular iron n calcium supplements.
Someone had mentioned to me that using Triphala regularly will provide relief from constipation and this can be taken life long with no side effects. Please advise. Also is this safe to be taken during breastfeeding.

Triphala is safe during feeding and it will releive your constipation.
But it is best you consult a Ayurveda doctor. How long will you depend on laxatives and medication??
Set your digestion and metabolism right , with a 6 month or 8 month course of Ayurveda medicines, Ayurveda diet and Ayurveda lifestyle. This will permanently cure constipation
