Triphala when trying to get pregnant?
Hi,
I have been taking triphala (1 gram a day) for my constipation (very hard stools) for many weeks and it worked as a miracle laxative, my haemorrhoids are also healed due to this.
Now we are planning to get pregnant can I continue to take triphala while trying and during pregnancy?
Kindly request please don't suggest lifestyle changes for constipation as I have tried everything.
Thanks in advance.
Please advice.

Dont take triphala while during pregnancy! As it is a laxative can be causing inability to sustain pregnancy! 😓
Take black raisins daily after soaking it in water or amalaki( amla) churna!
This will help in constipation!
You can start taking dedicated ghrita (ghee) that will help in constipation as well as growth of baby!
Ayurveda has medicines for all the 9 months of pregnancy which help in gaining weight of the Baby and avoiding abnormal weight gain after delivery to the mother!😍

Hello,
Yeah, triphala acts as a good laxative and it has many more benefits. But, sometimes you can see rebound reflexes when you take it for a long duration which means it might not work as a laxative in further days as your body completely adjusts to that as a food.
You can continue until you conceive. After that consult the doctor for further guidance.
Next Steps
Go for detoxification which helps to maintain your gut health as well as helps to conceive a healthy progeny.
Health Tips
lifestyle and food modifications are best to maintain your gut health.
know your body Constitution and plan your food and activity based on that.
