What Are the Best Ayurvedic Remedies for Constipation That Work Naturally? - #12515
I have been struggling with constipation for a while now, and I don’t want to rely on chemical laxatives. I started looking for Ayurvedic constipation remedies that provide natural relief without side effects. What are the best herbal treatments and lifestyle changes to improve bowel movements? From what I have read, Ayurveda considers constipation a Vata imbalance, which leads to dryness, bloating, and irregular bowel movements. Some of the most common Ayurvedic constipation remedies include Triphala powder, ghee with warm milk, and Isabgol (Psyllium husk). But how do these remedies work, and which one is best for chronic constipation? One of the most recommended Ayurvedic remedies for constipation is Triphala churna, a combination of Amla, Haritaki, and Bibhitaki. Many people say that taking Triphala before bed with warm water helps in clearing the bowels naturally. But does it cause dependency if taken daily? Another popular remedy is drinking warm milk with ghee at night. Some sources claim that one teaspoon of ghee in warm milk lubricates the intestines and relieves constipation. But does it work for people with lactose intolerance? Many Ayurvedic practitioners also recommend eating soaked raisins or figs early in the morning for better digestion. Are these remedies effective, or should they be combined with other dietary changes? If anyone has successfully treated constipation with Ayurvedic remedies, please share what worked best for you. Did you need to make any lifestyle changes along with herbal treatments? I am looking for natural and effective ways to relieve constipation without harming gut health. Any expert advice would be greatly appreciated!
