Research suggests that the available published evidence specifically examining Haritaki for constipation relief is currently insufficient to draw meaningful conclusions. The single study identified in this review was a systematic scoping review focused on alternative medicine systems proposed for COVID-19 prevention and treatment, which does not address constipation at all and therefore provides no relevant findings for this use case. No randomized controlled trials, meta-analyses, or clinical studies examining Haritaki's effects on constipation were present in the linked literature. Readers interested in this topic should be aware that the absence of evidence here reflects a significant gap in the available research base, and that claims about Haritaki's laxative or digestive properties found in traditional or popular sources have not been substantiated by the studies reviewed here.
