Which Ayurvedic Treatment for Constipation Provides Long-Term Digestive Relief? - #14164

Anonymously

I have been struggling with chronic constipation, bloating, and irregular bowel movements, and while over-the-counter laxatives provide short-term relief, I want to try an Ayurvedic treatment for constipation that focuses on natural gut healing and long-term digestive health. Some of the most commonly recommended Ayurvedic remedies for constipation include Triphala (for bowel regulation and detoxification), Isabgol (Psyllium husk for fiber and bulk-forming relief), Castor Oil (for lubricating the intestines), and Abhyanga (Ayurvedic abdominal massage to stimulate digestion). But how effective are these remedies compared to modern medications? For those who have used Ayurvedic treatment for constipation, which method worked best for sustained digestive improvement? Did it help with long-term relief, or does it require continuous usage? Would love to hear from people who have successfully managed chronic constipation using Ayurveda and whether it provided lasting gut health benefits.

Ayurvedic remedies for chronic constipation focus on long-term gut healing rather than just providing temporary relief. Common treatments include: Triphala: A powerful herbal blend for bowel regulation, detoxification, and digestive balance. Isabgol (Psyllium Husk): Provides fiber to add bulk and ease bowel movements. Castor Oil: Acts as a natural laxative, stimulating bowel movements and lubricating the intestines. Abhyanga (Abdominal Massage): Stimulates digestion and promotes gut motility. Many people find that consistent use of these remedies, combined with dietary changes and hydration, leads to lasting relief. While these may not work as rapidly as over-the-counter laxatives, they tend to promote overall digestive health with fewer side effects.
