Kadukkai powder is a natural laxative. Many suffer from constipation and take medicines for it continuously. Having a traditional diet that is rich in fiber and using natural laxatives like kadukkai powder will keep us free of constipation. Regularly consuming medicine for constipation will make a person dependent on them along with the side effects of bloating and flatulence. To make the remedy, break the haritaki and remove the seeds and sun dry the haritaki peel .Grind  to a very fine powder and bottle . Take the required amount of powder in a bowl, boil water and add to the haritaki   powder. Drink it once it comes to lukewarm temperature before going to bed. You will find yourself free from constipation, the next day morning. We do get haritaki powder in the markets, but I prefer making it on my own, as it is very effective when freshly ground.
