It seems you are having weak digestive systems. Aapko pachana wali aahar khani chayiye. Raat ko khana kum khana padega. Dood pine ki aadat ho tho raat ko ek glass dood peejeye. Fruits khane se be laab hoga

Constipation for over two months can certainly be discomforting and can lead to other health issues. It sounds like your digestive fire, or ‘agni’ in Ayurveda, may be impaired, and there may be a vitiation of Vata dosha, given the symptoms of joint pain, body weakness, and the nature of your stools. Here’s how you can address this:

First, ensure you’re drinking enough warm water throughout the day to keep your system hydrated. A simple method is sipping on warm water or herbal teas, like ginger or coriander tea, which can help stimulate digestive fire. Avoid cold or iced drinks as they may aggravate Vata.

For your diet, focus on warm, cooked meals with plenty of ghee or healthy fats like sesame or olive oil. Cooked vegetables, particularly root vegetables like carrots or sweet potatoes, can be beneficial. Incorporate spices such as cumin, turmeric, and fennel—these can aid digestion and help balance Vata. Lentils should be well-cooked and eaten in moderation.

Try Triphala powder, a renowned Ayurvedic remedy for constipation, before bedtime. You can mix about half a teaspoon in a glass of warm water. It not only assists in regular bowel movements but also helps in detoxifying the digestive tract.

Regarding your joint issues, warming self-massage (Abhyanga) with sesame oil is recommended. This can alleviate joint pain and support flexibility. Apply the oil warmed, gently massage all over your body, and then take a warm bath. This practice can also be quite relaxing, enhancing your body’s Vata balance.

For the back pain, advise ensuring that your posture is correct when sitting or standing for extended periods. Gentle yoga practices, emphasizing on poses like ‘Bhujangasana’ or ‘Marjariasana’ (cat-cow), can help ease back discomfort.

Take care to avoid processed foods and excessive caffeine, as these may further disrupt your system. Lastly, if these suggestions don’t provide significant relief, I would recommend consulting with a qualified Ayurvedic practitioner or a healthcare provider to explore other potential causes or treatment. Always ensure you’re in touch with a professional to oversee your health journey.
