Chronic constipation at your age, especially with a prolonged history of allopathy use, suggests a more deep-seated dosha imbalance, likely involving vata dosha. Ayurveda addresses constipation by focusing on correcting digestive fires (agni), soothing the nerves, and promoting healthy bowel movements.

Let’s start by gently restoring balance. Begin your day with a glass of warm water mixed with a teaspoon of fresh lemon juice and a pinch of rock salt to stimulate digestion and cleanse the system. Trphala churna is a classic ayurvedic remedy, known for its detoxifying and gently laxative effects. You might take a teaspoon mixed in warm water before bedtime. It’s mild and helps tone the colon without dependency.

Diet wise, favor warm, cooked foods over raw and cold items. Include ghee in your diet as it lubricates the intestines and can ease bowel movements. Stay hydrated, sip warm water throughout the day, avoid cold drinks and caffeine which can aggravate vata. Cooked greens, whole grains like Oats or brown rice, and warm soups are suitable.

Regularity is important. Try establishing a fixed routine, going to bed early and waking with nature’s rhythms. Incorporate yoga or light excercise like walking to enhance peristaltic movement in your gut. Pranayama, especially deep breathing exercises, can also calm the nervous system helping regularize bowel habits.

Herbs like ashwagandha and brahmi can support your nervous system and encourage relaxation, easing digestive functions. Often, underlying stress worsens constipation, so managing that aspect can help.

Remember, lasting change will take time. If symptoms are severe or involve additional concerns, particularly with a history of such long-term medication, it’s essential to consult an ayurveda practitioner for in-person evaluation. Consider a tailored panchakarma therapy, under professional supervision, if you’re open to detoxification methods. This comprehensive approach combines diet, lifestyle, and targeted treatments to address root imbalances appropriately.
