Constipation is always a headache for the people of modern era. We eat
less fiber foods, less vegetables, less fruits and in one line we don’t have
that much of time to cook & eat. Our excessive stress and lifestyle changes
are one of the most prior cause of constipation. So to live a smooth life we
have to cover come from it. Along with modification of lifestyle, we need some
basic medicine. In Ayurveda there are many such medicines
mentioned classics. In modern times there are some exceptional patent herbal
