HELLO ASTHA,
YOU MENTIONED,
-constipation since school age
-going upto 10 days without a bowel movement
- hard stool and straining while passing it
- you're 20 years old, no chronic illness
This qualifies as chronic functional constipation, likely due to lifestyle , diet, and gut motility issues, possibly compounded by Vata dosha imbalance in Ayurveda.
In Ayurveda, chronic constipation is due to
- vata imbalance, especially in Apana Vayu(responsible for elimination)
-dryness, coldness, and lack of lubrication
-weak agni(digestive fire)
LIKELY CAUSES
-dry, cold, processed food
- irregular eating and sleeping
- sedentary life
-stress and worry(vata emotions)
AYURVEDIC MANAGEMENT PLAN
1) INTERNAL OLEATION
lubricaing intestine to soften stool
-GHEE IN WARM MILK(bedtime)
=1-2 tsp cows ghee in a cup of warm milk at night daily
GANDHARVA HARITAKI CHURNA= 1 tsp with 1 tbsp castor oil = best to relieve constipation
2) TRIPHALA CHURNA
- 1tsp triphala+ warm water at bedtime daily
-supports digestion, detox, and regular bowel movement
- if not willing total churna then triphala tablet (500mg)= 2 tabs at night
3) CASTOR OIL CLANSING= VERY IMPORTANT
-take 2 tsp castor oil + warm milk once in 7 days
-acts as a natural ,effective laxative
-do not overuse, only occasionally for deep cleansing
4) ISABGOL WITH WARM MILK
-2 tsp isabgol+warm milk before bed
-soaks water and bulk stool
-avoid with cold water, that may aggravate vata
NOTE= USE ALL ABOVE ALTERNATIVELY MEANS ONE FORMULATION FOR A WEEK THEN CHANGE TO OTHER ; DON'T TAKE ONE FOR LONG PERIOD OF TIME (because it may adapt to body and will not give desired result)
MEDICATIONS TO START WITH
1) ABHAYARISHTA= 15ml with water twice daily after meals
2) AVIPPATIKAR CHURNA= 1 tsp with warm water before meals half n hour twice daily
-helps in consitpation and acidity
3) SUKUMAR GHRITA= 1 tsp with milk in morning
=especailly good for females and vata type constipation
LIFESTYLE MANAGEMENT
MORNING ROUTINE
goal= establish a daily bowel rhythm
upon waking
-wake up early by 6 am
-drink 2 glasses of warm water can add lemon + pinch of salt/ghee
- sit on the toilet at the same time- even without urge
-practice rest and contract method= sit calmly, do deep breathing, relax your belly
- Avoid phones or books while sitting
TRY POSES LIKE
-malasana(yoga squat)
-pawanmuktasana
-trikonasana
* Use a small stool under your feet while sitting on the toilet. It stimulate a natural squatting position and reduces straining
DIET RECOMMENDATIONS
INCLUDE
-warm water with lemon= stimulates colon
-ghee 2 tsp daily or more= lubricates intestines
-papaya, figs, prunes, raisins= natural laxatives
-spinach, bottle gourd, ridge gourd= soothing on gut
- whole grains(millets, oats)= high fiber
- butter milk with roasted jeera= improves digestion
AVOID STRICTLY
-cold water, fridge items= inhibits digestion
-dry snacks(chips, biscuits)= aggravates vata
- fried foods, fast foods= hard to digest
- tea/coffee excess= dehydrates colon
-overeating excess= dehydrates colon
- overeating= weakens digestive fire
-refined grains, maida= low fibre
HYDRATION AND FLUIDS
-aim for 2.5- 3 Liters water/day
- use warm or room temperature water only
-include soups, steamed veggies, herbal teas
MIND- BODY COONECTION
STRESS AND CONSTIPATIONS ARE LINKED
-practice daily meditations= 10 min
-try Bhramari Pranayam and Anulom-vilom
-get 7-8 hours of restful sleep
YOGA ASANA TO RELIEVE CONSTIPATION(DO DAILY)
you can do these in morning on an empty stomach
just 15-30 minutes daily can bring big changes
1) pawanmuktasana= relieves gas, bloating, and stimulate large intestine
2) malasana= mimics natural pooping posture, opens pelvic floor and helps elimination
3) ardha matsyendrasana= massages liver, kidneys, and intestines . improves digestion
4) bhujangasana= stimulates abdominal organs, reduces sluggish digestion
5) Trikonasana= improves digestion, stretches the colon and obliques
6) Vajrasnaa= after meals, open pose safe after meals. helps digestion and prevents gas formation
7) Apanasana= soothes lower abdomen, improves bowel movement
You're young and your body will respond well to consistent efforts. But the key is
CONSISTENCY>INTENSITY
Stick to these methods for at least 6-8 weeks
DO FOLLOW
HOPE THIS MIGHT BE HELPFUL
THANK YOU

Hello Aastha,
Thanks for opening up about this and I really feel for you. Not pooping for even 10 days at times is definitely not something to ignore. What you’re describing is a classic case of chronic Vata imbalance, especially Apana Vata dushti, which governs downward movement in the body like bowel motion, menstruation, urination. Over time, when Apana Vata gets blocked or weakened due to wrong eating, stress, dehydration, or even childhood habits, it can cause stools to become dry, hard, and painful to expel. In Ayurveda, we also consider this a sign of Pakvashayagata Vata, which means Vata is trapped in the large intestine (colon), drying and blocking the system.
This doesn’t just affect your stomach when you don’t clear your bowels, toxins (Ama) keep circulating in your system, affecting your skin, mood, appetite, and long-term health. But don’t worry this can be gently corrected by unblocking Apana Vata, lubricating your intestines, softening the stool, and rebuilding a rhythm in your body. You’re young and if you work on it now, this pattern can change completely.
Prescription
Triphala churna – 1 tsp at bedtime with warm water or warm milk
Gandharvahastadi Kashayam – 15 ml with equal water twice daily before food
Castor oil (organic, edible) – 2 tsp in warm water once or twice a week early morning (on empty stomach) till bowels regulate
Panchatikta Ghrita or Mahatiktaka Ghrita – 1 tsp early morning on empty stomach with warm water for 3 weeks
Abhyanga (oil massage) on abdomen, lower back, and thighs using warm sesame oil daily before bath
Diet Guidelines
Drink warm water only — especially early morning, 2 glasses minimum
Avoid dry, cold, packaged, or fried foods
Add ghee to all your meals (at least 1 tsp twice daily)
Eat soaked black raisins (5–6), figs (2), and 5 soaked almonds every morning
Include boiled vegetables, moong dal, soups, and thin rice gruel in dinner
Don’t skip meals, and avoid eating late at night
If you have a habit of scrolling phone in toilet, stop — just sit with calm and light breath
Optional Investigations
Vitamin D3
Thyroid Profile
CBC
Stool routine and culture (to rule out any gut flora issues)
Once your bowel gets the rhythm again, you’ll feel the difference lighter body, calmer mind, better sleep. Start gently but consistently.
If you have any doubts, you can contact me.
Take care, regards,
Dr.Karthika.

Addressing long-standing constipation, especially over several years, requires a comprehensive approach, examining lifestyle, diet, and potential Ayurvedic solutions. The issue indicates a possible imbalance in the Vata dosha, leading to a weakened agni, or digestive fire. Restoring balance involves nurturing agni, softening stools, and supporting regular bowel movements.
Firstly, analyze your daily routine to incorporate hydration. Ensure you are drinking sufficient warm water throughout the day, but especially in the morning to help stimulate bowel movements. The warmth aids in smoother digestion and vata pacification.
When it comes to diet, incorporate warm, cooked, and easily digestible foods. Stewed fruits, vegetables such as carrots or sweet potatoes, and grains like rice or oats can be beneficial. Cook with spices like cumin, coriander, and fennel to enhance digestion. Ghee is particularly helpful; take one teaspoon of warm ghee with warm milk before bedtime to enhance bowel movement the next morning.
Ensure your meals are taken at regular intervals to stabilize digestion, avoid cold, heavy, and dry foods, as they aggravate vata. For fiber, include psyllium husk (isabgol) before bed with warm water. It can help in making the stools softer.
A habit worth incorporating is regularity in your sleeping and waking hours, specifically aiming for early mornings when bowel movements are daha. Engage in regular physical activities like a light morning walk or yoga poses such as "Pawanmuktasana" (Gas releasing pose) to facilitate peristalsis.
Ayurvedic herbs might also support this, such as Triphala churna, taken with warm water before bed. It has gentle laxative properties and aids in detoxifying the colon.
Avoid suppressing natural urges and ensure stress is managed, as it can increase vata, further contributing to constipation. Seek professional Ayurvedic guidance to assess and tailor further specifics in your treatment. If the problem persists or worsens, consult a healthcare provider to rule out any underlying issues needing immediate attention.
