Traditional Ayurvedic Formula
Kerala Ayurveda
Kerala Ayurveda Eranda Sukumaram is a gentle, classical preparation for the digestive tract, built around Eranda (castor) with Shatavari, Punarnava and the Dashamoola roots in a jaggery base. Its core purpose is to support easy, comfortable elimination and settled Apana Vata. The name joins Eranda (castor) with Sukumara, meaning tender or gentle, describing its soft, non-harsh action.
Ayurvedic Significance
Comfortable elimination in Ayurveda depends on well-directed Apana Vata, the downward-moving air that governs the pelvis and the bowels. Eranda is the classical herb for Anulomana, gently guiding Vata downward, while Shatavari and the sweet, cooling herbs keep the process soft rather than forceful. The Dashamoola roots steady Vata more broadly, so the preparation is traditionally chosen where gentle regularity and comfort are wanted without harshness.
Key Benefits
Gentle Anulomana: Eranda supports the natural downward flow of Apana Vata for easy elimination.
Soft, non-harsh action: the Sukumara character is soothing rather than forceful.
Digestive comfort: traditionally used to ease bloating and support regularity.
Apana Vata balance: the Dashamoola roots help settle the pelvic Vata.
Nourishing base: Shatavari and jaggery lend a nourishing, cooling quality.
Contains jaggery as a natural sweet base. Please read the label for the full ingredient list.
Suggested Use
Traditionally, one to two teaspoons is taken with warm water, or with a suitable Kashaya (decoction) as the Anupana, as advised. The dosage, timing and duration are best determined by a qualified Ayurvedic practitioner to suit your constitution (Prakriti).

+How does Eranda Sukumaram work?
Eranda Sukumaram is traditionally used as a gentle laxative to ease constipation. Castor and the supporting herbs are traditionally valued for supporting smooth, comfortable, regular bowel movements without the harshness of strong purgatives, while easing the pain and inflammation Ayurveda links to aggravated Vata and supporting digestion. This is supportive, traditional care for occasional constipation; persistent constipation, severe abdominal pain, or a sudden change in bowel habits need proper assessment by a doctor. It is not intended to treat any disease.
+How do you take Eranda Sukumaram?
The traditional dose is about 1 to 2 teaspoons with warm water, or with an appropriate kashayam (decoction), or as directed by your Ayurvedic practitioner. A few pointers:
It is best taken occasionally for constipation, not as a long-term daily habit.
Drink plenty of water and eat enough fibre alongside.
Start with the lower amount to see how your body responds. This is a 30ml pack.
+Is Eranda Sukumaram safe for regular use?
Eranda Sukumaram is a gentle Ayurvedic laxative best used for occasional constipation rather than as a long-term daily laxative, since regular reliance on any laxative can affect natural bowel function. For lasting regularity, support it with enough water, fibre, and movement. Castor-based laxatives are best avoided in pregnancy and during menstruation unless a practitioner advises, and persistent constipation needs medical assessment. Use it under the guidance of an Ayurvedic practitioner. It is not intended to diagnose, treat, cure, or prevent any disease.

+Are there any precautions with Eranda Sukumaram?
Eranda Sukumaram is a gentle laxative, but a few sensible cautions apply. Use it for occasional, not long-term daily, constipation, and keep to the recommended dose, as too much can cause loose stools or cramps. Being castor-based, it is best avoided in pregnancy and during menstruation unless a practitioner advises. Those who are breastfeeding, on medication, or managing a health condition should consult their doctor, and persistent constipation, severe abdominal pain, or a sudden change in bowel habits need medical assessment. It is not intended to diagnose, treat, cure, or prevent any disease.
