How can shilajit be used to relieve constipation effectively? - #22091

Addison

I am dealing with this really frustrating issue — constipation has become a part of my life lately, and it’s driving me nuts! I’ve tried so many things, but nothing seems to actually work. I heard some friends mention shilajit, right? I did a bit of research and it sounds pretty amazing for digestion and general gut health! So, I’m like wondering if shilajit could help me out with this constipation problem. I've been feeling bloated all the time, and man, it makes life hard. I can’t even focus on work or enjoy meals. Some days I feel desperate and just want something to help me go, you know what I mean? I mean, people say shilajit works like magic for digestion — but is that for real? Like, how do you take it? Is it safe? I’m worried about side effects too. Would love to hear how others have tried shilajit for constipation, did it actually help? Or are there better options? Any advice would be so appreciated because this is really messing up my daily routine and I just wanna feel normal again. Thanks in advance!

Thanks for sharing so openly- your frustration is totally valid and you are not alone in dealing with chronic constipation and bloating Shilajit is a powerful Ramayana(rejuvenating) in Ayurveda- known for Support Agni(digestive fire) Promote better metabolism and nutrient absorption Act as MILD LAXATIVE and detoxifier in some people not all helps rebuild gut strength when fatigue, stress or sluggishness is the root cause But here's the key- shilajit is NOT first line treatment for constipation if your constipation is due to Improper diet, dehydration , stress or sedentary lifestyle then Shilajit alone won't fix the core issue- and might even be too heating for some individual. better steps in your case 1) Tripphala at bedtime- 1 tso churna with warm water before bed very effective in chronic constipation 2 tsp castor oil + warm milk take on empty stomach - powerful colon cleanse(don't overuse) Maintain Gut Routine wake up by 6-7 am , drink warm water ( with ghee)- daily Add steamed veggies in dier fibre rich fruits, GHEE avoid dry snacks, bread, raw salads, cold foods at night daily WALKING- 30-45 MINUTES after food dinner Can take Shilajit- 3 times/ week- pea sized amount (250-300mg ) with warm water empty stomach in morning thank you Dr. Maitri Acharya

It’s one of powerful rasayana which may improve Agni but may not help in constipation For constipation you can try Triphala churna- 1 teaspoon with water at night Abhaya aristha- 40 teaspoon with equal quantity of water twice daily after food

Silajeet is useful in many ways One of it is that it helps in digestion But you can try Sukumar gritha two spoons with warm milk two times a day Triphala churna half spoon with warm water two times a day after meals

Shilajit has many minerals micronutrients, improves digestion But for constipation, Shilajit alone is not beneficial, you will have to take Triphala juice 20ml. Twice daily after food with water
