In general,
to maintain a healthy gut, make sure that you are having smooth at least daily bowel movements – if certain foods or lifestyle regimens constipate you then make sure to avoid them in order to maintain an optimal evacuation routine. If you need additional support to have bowel movement, you can add the following supplements to your daily regimen:
- SVA Triphala or SVA Prakrit tablets before bed – start with one to two tablet per day and increase up to 4 maximum based on how your body is responding
- For high pitta people, add SVA Triphala for High Pitta
The classical Triphala formula has been an all time tri-doshic classic as it provides a great environment for the yogini-s. If you add the above recipes in your diet that help balance your pro-biotic bacteria through the yoghurt, and also cover the pre-biotic needs of your friendly bacteria through okra, arrowroot, etc, as well as maintain a healthy bacteria-friendly environment in your gut through safe and effective plants such as those contained in the triphala or prakrit formulation, then you are covered and do not need to have recourse to acidic beverages such as kombucha! Here’s to your health!
