CONTINUED CONSTIPATION FOR MORE THAN SIX MONTHS WITH STOOL COMING LESS THAN TWICE A WEEK EVEN WITHOUT PAIN INDICATES CHRONIC APANA VATA DUSHTI AND SROTAS AVARODHA IN AYURVEDA THIS MEANS THE MOVEMENT FORCE OF THE COLON HAS BECOME SLUGGISH AND THE NERVES OF THE GUT HAVE LOST THEIR NATURAL RHYTHM EVEN IF DIET HAS FRUITS AND VEGETABLES WHEN AGNI IS LOW OR VATA IS DRY THE STOOL BECOMES HARD AND RETAINED BORROWING SHODAN TABLETS AND TAKING UP TO TEN TABLETS AT A TIME MAY HAVE FORCED EVACUATION BUT THIS IS NOT A SAFE OR CURATIVE APPROACH AND CAN INCREASE DEPENDENCY AND FURTHER WEAKEN NATURAL BOWEL REFLEX OVER TIME

SHODAN OR SHODANA TABLETS ARE MEANT FOR MILD INTERNAL CLEANSING NOT FOR HIGH DOSE LAXATIVE ACTION FOR CHRONIC CONSTIPATION THE GOAL IS TO RESTORE NORMAL APANA VATA NOT TO PUSH STOOL OUT YOU SHOULD REDUCE SHODAN TO ONE OR MAXIMUM TWO TABLETS AT NIGHT AFTER DINNER WITH WARM WATER AND ADD TRIPHALA CHURNA ONE TEASPOON AT BEDTIME WITH WARM WATER OR GHEE THIS HELPS SOFTEN STOOL AND REEDUCATE THE COLON IF STOOL IS VERY HARD ADD GANDHARVA HARITAKI CHURNA HALF TEASPOON AT NIGHT WITH WARM MILK FOR TWO TO THREE WEEKS ONLY MORNING ROUTINE IS IMPORTANT DRINK TWO GLASSES OF WARM WATER AFTER WAKING AND TRY TO SIT FOR MOTION AT THE SAME TIME DAILY WITHOUT STRAINING

INVESTIGATIONS ARE IMPORTANT IN LONG STANDING CONSTIPATION EVEN WITHOUT PAIN YOU SHOULD CHECK THYROID PROFILE SERUM ELECTROLYTES FASTING BLOOD SUGAR VITAMIN B12 AND D LEVELS AND IF AGE IS ABOVE FORTY OR IF THERE IS UNEXPLAINED WEIGHT LOSS OR BLOOD IN STOOL A COLON EVALUATION SHOULD BE CONSIDERED THESE TESTS HELP RULE OUT METABOLIC OR NEUROGENIC CAUSES AYURVEDA CAN CORRECT CHRONIC CONSTIPATION PERMANENTLY BUT ONLY WHEN MEDICINES ARE USED GENTLY AND REGULARLY NOT IN HIGH EMERGENCY DOSES IF YOU PLAN TO BUY SHODAN IN BULK IT IS FINE FOR LONG TERM USE BUT THE DAILY DOSE SHOULD BE DISCIPLINED AND SUPPORTED WITH PROPER ROUTINE OIL IN DIET ADEQUATE SLEEP AND STRESS CONTROL OTHERWISE DEPENDENCY WILL DEVELOP INSTEAD OF HEALING
