Namaste and thank you for sharing your health journey with me Constipation, which is very common nowadays from an infant to elder everyone faces this problem In Ayurveda, we doesn’t treat the symptoms, but we understand the root cause, and then we give treatment so that it shouldn’t recur again In Ayurveda, every symptom is like a expression of the bodies, D language Through this way, the internal body is telling us that something imbalance is going, please correct it Constipation in Ayurveda, we call it as Vibanda , is asking us to pause and listen It is not just what goes in, and what does what doesn’t come out. It is often about what is not flowing in our life. Elimination in purest form , is a process of release, both physical and emotional when that natural release is interrupted, we must ask not only what is stuck, but also, where am I holding on? Constipation is due to imbalance of apana vata which is responsible for elimination of waste menstrual food of sperm of the baby during childbirth and even off deep-seated emotions When Apana vata is disturbed either by dryness, coldness, irregular habits or emotional tension, its flow can become erratic. This is often the seed of alternating constipation. In Ayurveda gut is seen as Agni, the sacred digestive fire that transform food into energy tissue and consciousness. When Agnes strong everything we take not only food but also thoughts, emotions and experiences is digested and released appropriately When Agni is weak or disturb, it leads to AMA that is undigested you that clogs the channels and creates the blockages What causes cognitive fluctuate seems to be very small bit, but which is very important, like eating while distracted or stressed Consuming too many dry or cold food Skipping meals or eating late at night Drinking water, just immediately after taking food Suppressing the natural body urges Suppressing the emotions, especially fear, worry, or anxiety VCE emotions have a direction in Ayurveda Like for example, fear, move, upward, and scatters Worry, contracts, grief, stagnates When this emotions are not processed to disturb the natural moment of apana vata Causing either delay or obstruction As you’re telling that you have constipation every alternate day Which is suggesting that the imbalance is not a chronic But as begin to take route This is an important time The body is still speaking, gently. It is not shouting. And if we listen now, we can restore balance withease and Grace Just before advising you something I want to ask you few questions Like, when did this pattern begin? Was it after a stressful event or a dietary change or a journey? How is your sleep pattern? Do you wake up fresh refreshed? Do you feel emotionally grounded? What is the nature of your meals? Are there are warm or nourishing or dry? Do you take time to your food properly or just eat and rush? Do you have time for yourself in a day? Do you walk? Is there any recent suppressed emotions or unexpressable? Before the symptom of this constipation begins, do you feel any kind of bloating, dryness or mental tension? You might be thinking why I am asking all this unrelated questions to the bubble, but the truth is, they are all internally connected The: Colon is often called the seat of VATA and this dosha is easily disturbed by speed, irregularity over stimulation and emotional turbulence To bring back to balance, we must bring back rhythm, warm, grounding, and softness This is not just about a digestive system it is about how we approach our day, our means, our relationships, and even our own inner a dialogue So let’s begin, what you can do ? Start walking and sleeping at the same time each day Eat in silence with presence Include warm, slightly oily mild spicy freshly cooked foods Massage the abdomen with warm sesame oil before bath Pink warm water with a pinch of cumin or fennel Take time in the early hours to simply sit, breathe, and listen to the bodies, natural or to eliminate Avoid rushing, whether it might be thought, speech, or activity And some beautiful hubs, you can try are Triphala churna-1 teaspoon with water at night Avipattikara churna-half teaspoon before meals with water Abhayaariatha-4 teaspoon with equal quantity of water twice daily after food In Ayurveda, we do not treat constipation, but we understand it And when we understand it deeply, it begins to dissolve So think that you’re not fixing your problem, but think it has an invitation to return to your own rhythm. The one your body mind and spirit are longing for. Have a healthy journey

Dealing with constipation can be quite uncomfortable and it’s good you’re seeking help. In Ayurveda, constipation is often related to an imbalance of the Vata dosha, which governs movement in the body, including digestion. It may also indicate a low digestive fire (Agni), which needs to be kindled. Here are some steps you can take to address the issue:

Firstly, examine your diet. Aim to incorporate more fiber-rich foods like whole grains, beans, flaxseeds, and leafy greens. Fiber assists in softening stool and stimulating bowel movements. Also, try eating warm, cooked meals rather than cold, raw foods, as warm foods are easier to digest and help in maintaining Agni.

Staying hydrated is crucial, so be sure to drink plenty of warm water throughout the day. Warm liquids can help stimulate the digestive system, whereas cold drinks may suppress Agni further and worsen the problem.

Triphala is a classic Ayurvedic remedy for constipation. It’s a blend of three fruits (Amalaki, Bibhitaki, Haritaki) known to gently cleanse the colon and support a healthy digestive tract. Taking a teaspoon of Triphala powder mixed with warm water at bedtime could aid in bowel regularity. Give it a try, but start with a small amount to observe how your body reacts.

In terms of lifestyle, try to maintain a regular routine. Wake up and sleep at consistent times daily. Performing a gentle morning exercise, like a short walk or yoga, can stimulate digestion. Also, tummy massages in clockwise direction around the navel might help ease constipation.

Please remember, prolonged constipation requires attention. If these remedies don’t provide relief or if you experience severe discomfort, contact a healthcare professional to rule out any serious condition. It’s important to listen to your body, and sometimes a combination of Ayurvedic practices and modern medicine might be necessary!
