Hello Yugraj

Thank you for reaching out. I understand your concern regarding constipation and indigestion. Please don’t worry — with proper Ayurvedic care and consistency, this can be managed naturally and effectively. 🙏


🔍 Your Concerns at a Glance:

✅ Primary symptoms: • Constipation • Indigestion • Irregular bowel movement and lower appetite


🧠 Possible Root Cause (From Ayurvedic View):

Your condition likely involves an imbalance in vaat and pitta dosha possibly due to production of ama that is indigestion which is due to manda agni ( low digestive fire) We’ll work on internal healing and external care together.


🌿 Phase 1: Internal Ayurvedic Medications (for 1 month)

1. Chitrakadi vati – 2-0-2 after food – ( This will increse your digestive fire )

2. Paed 36 – 2 tsp just before lunch – ( this will improve your appetite)

3. Takaristham 30ml + 30 ml water – After lunch – ( for indigestion)

4. Anuloma Ds - 2 tabs - at bed time ( this will regularize your bowel movement)

(All medicines are classical, safe, and customized as per your symptoms.)


🧼 Daily Routine Advice (Dinacharya):

Morning: ☑️Drink jeera water ( take 1 tsp of jeera add in 1 glass of water, boil it and drink on Empty stomach ☑️ take more of fibre fruits and vegetable ☑️ Take cooked vegatables Night: ☑️ have a light dinner at night ☑️ have your dinner before sunset


🍲 Diet & Lifestyle Recommendations:

✅ Avoid: Reheated food, fried items, urad dal, curd ✅ Include: [e.g., Warm water, seasonal fruits, ghee, millets, fruits ✅ Manage stress with yoga, pranayama & adequate rest


🧘‍♀️ Next Step: Panchakarma (Optional)

If your symptoms persist even after internal medicines, we can plan a customized Panchakarma therapy such as: ☑️Snehapana follwed by virechana - depending on your doshic imbalance and chronicity.


I truly believe you will begin to notice changes in your symptoms with this protocol. Ayurveda works gradually but deeply — so please stay consistent, follow the routine, and stay hopeful. 🌼

Feel free to reach out with any questions anytime.

Wishing you strength, clarity, and healing! Warm regards, Dr. Snehal Vidhate (BAMS | Ayurveda Practitioner)

Constipation and indigestion often signal an imbalance in Vata dosha according to Ayurvedic principles. Based on this, addressing the root cause involves pacifying Vata and enhancing agni, or the digestive fire. Begin by considering simple, practical changes you could make to your daily routines.

First, focus on your diet. Incorporate warm, cooked foods, as they are easier for your body to digest. Avoid cold, raw foods, such as salads, which could further aggravate Vata imbalance. Include plenty of ghee or sesame oil in your meals, since these help lubricate the intestines and ease the passage of stools. Try adding spices like cumin, ginger and fennel to aid digestion and stimulate appetite.

Hydration is equally important. Drink warm water throughout the day, avoiding ice-cold beverages. Warm herbal teas, especially ginger or fennel tea, can soothe digestion too. Before bedtime, a cup of warm milk with a pinch of ginger powder might promote a bowel movement in the morning.

Consider lifestyle modifications that encourage relaxation and reduce stress, as mental strain can exacerbate constipation. Establish a regular eating schedule - this helps sync your digestive system and controls appetite fluctuations. Aim for meals at set times rather than grazing throughout the day.

Consistent daily routines can also support Vata balancing. Engage in gentle exercises like yoga or walking, which can stimulate digestion without overwhelming the body.

Tripahala (a classical Ayurvedic formulation) has gentle laxative properties. Half a teaspoon with warm water before bed could gradually relieve constipation. However, if symptoms persist, it is advisable to consult with a healthcare professional who may recommend further examination and treatment. Such persistent issues can sometimes indicate conditions requiring immediate medical attention.

HELLO YUVRAJ,

Symptoms- constipation(vibandha), indigestion(agnimandya) and poor appetite(aruchi)

PRIMARY CONDITION- VIBANDHA(CONSTIPATION) -mainly due to vata dosha aggravation, particularly Apana Vayu, which governs downward movement of waste -chronic vata vitiation leads to dryness(rukshata) in the colon and reduced peristalsis

ASSOCIATED CONDITION- AGNIMANDYA(weak digestive fire) -digestive fire(agni) becomes Manda(dull) due to ama(toxic buildup) and vata kapha obstruction

SECONDARY SYMPTOMS- ARUCHI(loss of appetite) -due to excess vata or pitta in the stomach affecting jathragni, leading to low interest in food

CHRONICITY- over time, this may lead to -gas, bloating, heaviness -malabsorption -mental dullness or anxiety

TREATMENT PLAN

The treatment follows cleansing and pacification steps

PHASE 1 = MILD DETOX + BOWEL REGULARIZATION

1) TRIPHALA CHURNA= 1 tsp at bedtime with warm water for 1 months =rasayana+mridu virechaka( mild laxative) + digestive fire enhancer , cleanses colon, pacifies vata and detoxifies

2) HARITAKI + GHEE + HONEY= 1/2 tsp haritaki + 1 tsp ghee + 1 tsp honey at bedtime for 1 month =balances vata, improves apana movement, nourishes tissues. best for chronic constipation

3) CASTOR OIL- 1 tsp in ginger tea, once a week =stronger purgative for stubborn stool buildup

PHASE 2= STRENGTHENING DIGESTIVE FIRE AND REDUCING AMA(TOXINS)

1) AVIPATTIKKAR CHURNA= 3 gm twice daily before meals for 3 weeks = balances pitta, reduces acid buildup, deepens digestion. acts as mild laxative too

2)LAVAN BHASKAR CHURNA= 2-3 gm with buttermilk before lunch and dinner for 3 weeks =promotes appetite, relieves gas and bloating, corrects digestive fire

3) HINGWASTAKA CHURNA= 2 gm with ghee before meals for3 weeks =excellent carminative, reduces bloating, pacifies vata in gut

4) GUDUCHI CHURNA= 2 gm morning on empty stomach with water for 4 weeks =boosts digestive fire, detoxifies liver and improves immunity

DIET PLAN FOR YOU Focus on- warmth(avoid cold foods) -moisture(avoid dryness) -spices to kindle digestion -oiliness(to counter vata dryness) -simplicity-avoid overly complex meals

-warm, moist, lubircated foods= khichdi with ghee, porridge, vegetables soup -cooked veggis= bottle gourd, pumpkin, spinach , ridge gourd -healthy fats= ghee, sesame oil- improve lubrication and vata balance -soaked dry fruits- raisins, figs, prunes- natural laxatives -spices- cumin, ajwain, ginger, black pepper, fennel soaked- enhance digestive fire

AVOID -dry , raw, and cold foods= salads, crackers, popcorns, dry toast -processed/junk offs- aggravates toxins -heavy legumes=rajma, chana- hard to digest -excess tea, coffee- dry out colon -dairy in excess- especially cold milk, cheese- causes ama and heaviness

LIFESTYLE + YOGA + DAILY ROUTINE

DO’S -oil massage= daily or alternate days with warm sesame oil= reduces vata and improves apana -warm water sipping= especially early morning- stimulate bowel reflex -sit in VAJRASANA after meals for 5-10 min= enhance digestion

YOGA ASANA -pawanmuktasa- Reliefs gas -trikonasana, arda matsyendrasana= massages gut -bhujangasana= improves circulation

PRANAYAM -anulom vilom= balances doshas -bhramari= relaxes gut-brain axis -kapalbhati= improves metabolism

-Walking daily 30 minutes after dinner- stimulates digestion

AVOID -long sitting hours without breaks -stress and irregular eating -late night meals and sleep-should sleep by 10:30 PM -suppresing natural urges

DO FOLLOW CONSISTENTLY

HOPE THIS MIGHT BE HELPFUL

THANK YOU

Dr. Anirudh Deshmukh
I am Dr Anurag Sharma, done with BAMS and also PGDHCM from IMS BHU, which honestly shaped a lot of how I approach things now in clinic. Working as a physician and also as an anorectal surgeon, I’ve got around 2 to 3 years of solid experience—tho like, every day still teaches me something new. I mainly focus on anorectal care (like piles, fissure, fistula stuff), plus I work with chronic pain cases too. Pain management is something I feel really invested in—seeing someone walk in barely managing and then leave with actual relief, that hits different. I’m not really the fancy talk type, but I try to keep my patients super informed, not just hand out meds n move on. Each case needs a bit of thinking—some need Ksharasutra or minor para surgical stuff, while others are just lifestyle tweaks and herbal meds. I like mixing the Ayurved principles with modern insights when I can, coz both sides got value really. It’s like—knowing when to go gentle and when to be precise. Right now I’m working hard on getting even better with surgical skills, but also want to help people get to me before surgery's the only option. Had few complicated cases where patience n consistency paid off—no shortcuts but yeah, worth it. The whole point for me is to actually listen first, like proper listen. People talk about symptoms but also say what they feel—and that helps in understanding more than any lab report sometimes. I just want to stay grounded in my work, and keep growing while doing what I can to make someone's pain bit less every day.

Dr. Atul Painuli
I am Vaidya Atul Painuli, currently working as an Ayurvedic Consultant at Patanjali Chikitsalaya, Delhi... been here a while now. My focus from the start—over 10+ yrs in this field—has been to stay true to what Ayurveda *actually* is, not just surface-level remedies or buzzwords. I’ve treated a wide mix of patients, from people battling chronic illnesses to those just looking to fix their lifestyle before it leads to disease (which is v underrated tbh). During these years, I kinda shaped my practice around the idea that one solution never fits all. Whether it’s diabetes, gut disorders, stress-related problems or hormone issues—everything goes back to the root, the *nidana*. I usually go with classic Ayurvedic meds, but I mix it up with Panchakarma, diet tweaks and daily routine correction, depending on the case. Most of the time, ppl don’t even realize how much their habits are feeding into the problem. It’s not just about herbs or massages... though those are important too. At Patanjali Chikitsalaya, I see patients from literally all walks of life—office-goers, elderly, even young kids sometimes. Everyone’s got something diff going on, which keeps me grounded. What I try to do is not just treat the symptoms but help ppl *see* what’s happening in their bodies and minds. Like Ayurveda says—if your digestion, sleep and emotions are off... then eventually health’s gonna wobble. I don’t promise quick results but I do stay with my patients through the process, adjusting things based on how they respond. That part makes a big difference I think. For me, Ayurveda isn’t a “last resort” kinda thing—it’s a system that can prevent 80% of the lifestyle diseases ppl suffer from today, if done right. My goal? Just to keep doing this in a way that feels real, grounded, and actually helps ppl—not overwhelm them with too much jargon or fear. Just practical, clean, honest healing.

Right now m running my own clinic where i treat all kind of gyne problems—from irregular periods to PCOD, white discharge, fertility-related issues, menopausal symptoms n lot more that affects everyday life of females. I usually try to keep the language simple while dealing with patients cause honestly half of them come already confused or like really scared of what's happening inside their body... and if I use too much technical terms it just make it worse. I’ve been practicing in this space for couple of years now—don’t remember the exact month, maybe two or three year back? but anyway, what matters is I’ve seen how many of these problems get ignored till they turn serious. That’s something I feel strongly about. My goal is to help women understand their symptoms early and explain how Ayurveda can help gently but properly, whether it’s hormonal stuff or pain or cycle issues. I use classic Ayurvedic concepts like dosha analysis, ritucharya, n yoni vyapad chikitsa wherever it fits, but sometimes modern lifestyle really needs to be factored in too. Like if someone working night shift, no point telling them to wake up at 5am and do abhyanga daily—it won’t work. I’m practical about it. Anyway, I try my best to create a space where women feel heard. Lot of them said nobody actually explained them what’s going on before. And that’s like the saddest part. I feel my biggest strength is really just listening n tailoring the treatment to her routine, diet n stress pattern. Some cases are harder of course... things don’t always go fast, esp when it’s been neglected for yrs. But then Ayurveda’s not magic. It takes a little time—but results feel real n lasting when done right.

Dr. Maitri Bhavesh Kumar Acharya
ChatGPT said: I am Dr. Maitri, currently in my 2nd year of MD in Dravyaguna, and yeah, I run my own Ayurvedic clinic in Ranoli where I’ve been seeing patients for 2 years now. Honestly, what pulled me into this path deeper is how powerful herbs really are—when used right. Not just randomly mixing churnas but actually understanding their rasa, virya, vipaka etc. That’s kinda my zone, where textbook knowledge meets day-to-day case handling. My practice revolves around helping people with PCOD, acne, dandruff, back pain, stiffness in knees or joints that never seem to go away. And I don’t jump to giving a long list of medicines straight away—first I spend time figuring out their prakriti, their habits, food cycle, what triggers what… basically all the small stuff that gets missed. Then comes the plan—herbs (single or compound), some diet reshuffling, and always some lifestyle nudges. Sometimes they’re tiny, like sleep timing. Sometimes big like proper seasonal detox. Being into Dravyaguna helps me get into the depth of herbs more confidently. I don’t just look at the symptom—I think okay what guna will counter this? Should the drug be snigdha, ushna, tikta? Is there a reverse vipaka that’ll hurt the agni? I ask these questions before writing any combo. That’s made a huge diff in outcomes. Like I had this case of chronic urticaria that would flare up every week, and just tweaking the herbs based on sheetala vs ushna nature... helped calm the system in 3 weeks flat. Not magic, just logic. I also work with women who are struggling with hormonal swings, mood, delayed periods or even unexplained breakouts. When hormones go haywire, the skin shows, digestion slows, and mind gets foggy too. I keep my approach full-circle—cleansing, balancing, rejuvenating. No quick fixes, I tell them early on. What I’m hoping to do more of now is make Ayurveda feel practical. Not overwhelming. Just simple tools—ahara, vihara, aushadha—used consistently, with some trust in the body’s own healing. I’m still learning, still refining, but honestly, seeing people feel in control of their health again—that’s what keeps me rooted to this.

Dr. Keerthana PV
I am an Ayurvedic doctor who kinda grew into this path naturally—my roots are in Kerala, and I did my internship at VPSV Ayurveda College in Kottakkal, which honestly was one of the most eye-opening stages of my life. That place isn’t just a college, it’s a deep well of real Ayurveda. The kind that’s lived, not just studied. During my time there, I didn’t just observe—I *practiced*. Diagnosing, treating, understanding the patient beyond their symptoms, all that hands-on stuff that textbooks don’t really teach. It’s where I learned the rhythm of classical Kerala Ayurveda, the art of pulse reading, and how Panchakarma ain’t just about detox but more about deep repair. I work closely with patients—always felt more like a guide than just a doctor tbh. Whether it's about fixing a chronic issue or preventing one from happening, I focus on the full picture. I give a lot of attention to diet (pathya), routine, mental clutter, and stress stuff. Counseling on these isn’t an ‘extra’—I see it as a part of healing. And not the preachy kind either, more like what works *for you*, your lifestyle, your space. Also yeah—I’m a certified Smrithi Meditation Consultant from Kottakkal Ayurveda School of Excellence. This kinda allowed me to mix mindfulness with medicine, which I find super important, especially in today’s distracted world. I integrate meditation where needed—some patients need a virechana, some just need to breathe better before they sleep. There’s no one-size-fits-all and I kinda like that part of my job the most. I don’t claim to know it all, but I listen deeply, treat with care, and stay true to the Ayurvedic principles I was trained in. My role feels less about ‘curing’ and more about nudging people back to their natural balance... it’s not quick or flashy, but it feels right.

Dr. Isha Bhardwaj
I am someone who kinda learned early that medicine isn’t just about protocols or pills—like, it’s more about people, right? I did my BAMS with proper grounding in both classical Ayurveda and also the basics of modern med, which honestly helped me see both sides better. During internship, I got to work 6 months at Civil Hospital Sonipat—very clinical, very fast paced—and the other 6 at our own Ayurvedic hospital in the college. That mix showed me how blending traditional and integrative care isn't just theory, it actually works with real patients. After that I joined Kbir Wellness, an Ayurvedic aushdhalaya setup, where I dived into Naadi Pariksha—like really deep. It’s weird how much you can tell from pulse if you just listen right?? Doing regular consultations there sharpened my sense of prakriti, vikriti and how doshas show up subtle first. I used classical Ayurvedic texts to shape treatment plans, but always kept the patient’s routine, mental space and capacity in mind. Also I was part of some health camps around Karnal and Panipat—especially in govt schools and remote areas. That part really stays with me. You get to help ppl who dont usually have access to consistent care, and you start valuing simple awareness more than anything. I kinda think prevention should be a bigger focus in Ayurveda, like we keep talking about root cause but don’t always reach people before it gets worse. My whole method is pretty much built around that—root-cause treatment, yes, but also guiding patients on how to live with their body instead of fighting symptoms all the time. I rely a lot on traditional diagnostics like Naadi, but I mix that with practical therapies they can actually follow. No point in giving hard-to-do regimens if someone’s already overwhelmed. I keep it flexible. Most of my plans include dietary changes, natural formulations, lifestyle corrections and sometimes breathwork, daily rhythms and all that. I’m not here to just “treat illness”—what I really aim for is helping someone feel like they’ve got a handle on their own health again. That shift from just surviving to kinda thriving... that’s what I look for in every case.

Dr. Ankit Khandelwal
I am practicing Ayurveda since 3 years now, and tbh even though that number looks small on paper—it sure feels way more intense when you think of the daily exposure to different conditions, people, energies. I focus mainly on holistic wellness, with a strong bend toward balancing the body-mind equation. Sometimes ppl ask if I only give herbs but truthfully it’s more about understanding the why behind the illness... not just the what. My work usually involve personalized treatment planning, where I mix classical Ayurvedic concepts—like dosha analysis, ahara-vihara (diet & lifestyle), and detox via Panchakarma—based on how the person is living right now. That dynamic bit matters. One patient with acidity might need total food overhaul. Another? Just better sleep and breath practices. I learnt to not jump into “fixing” unless I’m hearing fully. The past 3 years taught me to observe subtle signs more deeply. Like the small fatigue before full-blown fatigue. I don’t claim big breakthroughs, but I’ve seen lives shift—chronic migraines fading, IBS calming down, periods regularising, skin healing slowly from inside-out. And that feels huge. Every day kinda grows me. Whether it’s a simple consultation, or longer therapies, I try to keep things real, rooted, and not rushed. And yes there’s still lot to explore. But I’m in this for the long run and I want ppl to know that healing doesn’t mean perfection—it just means balance, awareness, and the willingness to start.

Dr. Arun Desai
I am Dr. Arun Desai, working in Ayurveda for 19+ years now, both online and offline. My clinic, Ayur Sanjivani, is at #44 B 1, Opp Adarsh Laundry, beside Tej Residency, near Kavalemath Somwaar Peth Cross in Tilakwadi, Belgaum – bit of a long address but patients seem to find it just fine. Over time I’ve learned that people today want relief fast but still safe and lasting. That’s where I mix the depth of classical Ayurveda with practical tweaks to suit this fast moving lifestyle. I don’t like giving something that just masks a symptom – I want to get to the root cause whenever possible. At the clinic, I try to keep things warm and easy to talk, not a stiff doctor’s table vibe. Whether it’s diagnosis, a Panchakarma session, or simple counseling, I want patients to feel they can ask anything, even small doubts. Education matters too – when someone understands why a certain diet or lifestyle change is needed, they actually follow it better. Treatments may include herbal formulations, diet charts, yoga routines, exercise plans, detox, anti-stress work – all depending on their prakruti and condition. Over the years, I’ve treated people from many walks of life – each case different, which keeps me learning. Some come for joint pain, some for skin problems, others for lifestyle disorders like diabetes or high BP. I still follow authentic Ayurvedic principles but adapt them so they work in today’s reality. And yes, I’m always updating my knowledge, making sure the practice stays ethical and effective, because for me, Ayurveda isn’t just treatment – it’s a way to help someone rebuild their health from inside out.

Dr. Surya Bhagwati
I am a Senior Ayurveda Physician with over 28 years of clinical experience dedicated to the principles and practice of authentic Ayurvedic medicine. Throughout my journey, I have had the privilege of treating more than 100,000 patients through both in-person consultations and online platforms. My approach is deeply rooted in classical Ayurvedic diagnostics—such as Nadi Pariksha (pulse examination), Roga-Rogi Pariksha (patient and disease evaluation), and a personalized assessment of prakriti (body constitution). Over the years, I have successfully managed a wide range of health conditions across all age groups—from acute infections and digestive issues to chronic and lifestyle disorders such as arthritis, diabetes, respiratory ailments, hormonal imbalances, and autoimmune conditions. I place strong emphasis on individualized care, combining herbal formulations, Panchakarma detox therapies, and dietary and lifestyle guidance to ensure long-term healing and disease prevention. My extensive experience also includes addressing complex, chronic illnesses that require a deep understanding of both the pathology and the patient’s overall constitution. I have worked with patients who had previously struggled with little success in other systems of medicine, and have guided many toward sustainable recovery and improved quality of life. Whether treating elderly patients with degenerative disorders or young adults facing hormonal or metabolic challenges, I strive to offer care that is compassionate, comprehensive, and evidence-informed. My goal is to empower patients with Ayurvedic wisdom so they can take an active role in their healing journey. I continue to remain updated with the evolving landscape of integrative health and value the importance of patient education, ethical practice, and consistent follow-up. For me, Ayurveda is not just a profession, but a lifelong commitment to restoring balance and promoting well-being, one patient at a time.
