Purgain®
Purgain is an ideal medicine for constipation. It cures constipation by softening hard, dry stools and through a gentle bowel-stimulating action — generally producing a bowel movement within 6 to 12 hours.
The Unani Approach to Constipation
- Constipation occurs when the cold and dry qualities of sauda disturb the colon. The remedy is to add warmth, oil and hydration:
- Drink plenty of warm or hot water or herbal tea.
- Increase organic oils in the diet (sesame oil, ghee, olive oil).
- Eat plenty of ripe fruit — ripe bananas, peeled apples, soaked raisins or prunes.
- Drink fruit juice; pineapple and prune juice are especially effective.
- At bedtime, take boiled milk with 1–2 tsp ghee, or flaxseed tea.
- Consider Vata-pacifying herbs such as Triphala.
- Please consult a healthcare provider for intense, prolonged or frequent constipation.
