What Is the Most Effective Ayurveda Treatment for Constipation and Digestive Health? - #14390
I have been experiencing chronic constipation, bloating, and irregular bowel movements, and while fiber supplements and laxatives help temporarily, I want to explore Ayurveda treatment for constipation that provides natural and long-term relief. However, I am unsure which Ayurvedic herbs, therapies, and lifestyle changes work best for improving digestion and preventing constipation. Some of the most commonly recommended Ayurvedic treatments for constipation include Triphala Churna, which is a powerful herbal laxative that also detoxifies the colon, Isabgol (Psyllium Husk) for improving stool bulk, Castor Oil (Eranda Taila) for lubrication of the intestines, and Gandharvahastadi Kashayam, which is traditionally used for treating chronic digestive sluggishness. Many Ayurveda practitioners also suggest Panchakarma detox therapies, such as Basti (medicated enema) for deep colon cleansing, and dietary modifications like including more warm, soupy foods and avoiding heavy, dry meals that aggravate Vata dosha. However, I want to know whether these treatments completely cure constipation or only provide symptom relief. For those who have used Ayurvedic treatments for constipation, what worked best for regulating bowel movements, improving digestion, and maintaining long-term gut health? Would love insights into the best Ayurvedic approaches for treating constipation naturally and whether they provide lasting digestive wellness.
