Dryness in the eyes is a common condition that occurs when your tears are unable to provide adequate lubrication for your eyes.

Factors such as frequent consumption of junk food, excess intake of coffee or tea, sleeping late at night, stress and depression, etc. aggravate Vata and Pitta. Triphala Ghrita helps to manage constipation by balancing Vata and Pitta. It also helps to expel waste products from the large intestine due to its Rechana (laxative) property.
