HELLO MANISHA,
Symptoms= chronic constipation, incomplete bowel movements, gastric issues, irritable bowels, AND stress- your condition seems multi systemic but strongly rooted in gut imbalance, which is central in Ayurveda.
In Ayurveda, your symptoms point toward an imbalanced vata and pitta dosha
-Constipation and incomplete evacuation-> indicative of aggravated Vata dosha in colon.
-Gas -> also vata, sometimes combined with pitta if there's burning or irritation.
- stress-> vata and pitta both impact the nervous system, chronic stress dries out the system and weakens digestion.
ROOT CAUSE IN AYURVEDA,
Agni Mandya(weak digestive fire) + vata- vyatha(disturbed apana vata)
- Due to poor dietary habits, irregular lifestyle, stress, and toxin buildup, your digestive fire is low leading to
- incomplete digestion
- accumulated toxins
- blockage of channels
- irritated skin and scalp due to poor liver and blood detox
