Chronic constipation, especially when accompanied by a lack of pressure to excrete and reduced hunger, often points to an imbalance in Vata dosha and weakened Agni (digestive fire). To address this, start your day with warm water and lemon or a teaspoon of ghee on an empty stomach to stimulate digestion, and take Triphala churna at night, which can help regulate bowel movements without causing irritation. A Vata-pacifying diet is essential, focusing on warm, cooked, and unctuous foods like ghee, sesame oil, and cooked vegetables while avoiding cold and raw foods. You can also support digestion with herbal teas like ginger or fennel and add flaxseeds or chia seeds to increase fiber. Ayurvedic therapies like mild Basti (medicated enema) and Abhyanga (warm oil massage) can help calm Vata and improve elimination. Regular, gentle exercise like yoga and stretching, particularly poses like Pavanamuktasana and Vajrasana, can stimulate digestion and bowel movement, while maintaining a consistent schedule for eating and sleeping will support a healthy routine. Ensure adequate hydration by drinking warm water throughout the day.

Hello Namita, it is indeed important to find the reason of constipation in your case. you seem to be experiencing constipation, lack of appetite, and a feeling of fullness, likely due to an imbalance of Vata and Pitta doshas in Ayurveda, which affects digestion and bowel movements. To address this, start by taking Triphala Churna (1 teaspoon with warm water at bedtime) to regulate bowel movements and improve digestion. Add Avipattikar Churna (1 teaspoon with warm water before meals) to relieve indigestion and stimulate appetite. Use Hingwashtak Churna (½ teaspoon with ghee or warm water before meals) to reduce gas and enhance digestion. Arogyavardhini Vati (1 tablet twice daily after meals) can help promote liver function and boost digestion. Include Panchatikta Ghrita or Shatavari Ghrita (1 teaspoon twice daily on an empty stomach) to lubricate the intestines and regulate digestion. For diet, consume warm, easily digestible foods like soups, stews, and khichdi, and eat smaller, frequent meals to prevent overburdening the digestive system. Include spices like ginger, cumin, and fennel, while avoiding cold, raw, and heavy foods. Stay hydrated by drinking warm water or herbal teas like fennel and ginger throughout the day. Externally, practice Abhyanga (oil massage) with warm sesame oil or Dhanwantharam Tailam daily before bathing to pacify Vata and improve digestion. Incorporate Anulom Vilom Pranayama (10 minutes daily) and gentle yoga poses like Pawanmuktasana and Bhujangasana to stimulate digestion and bowel movements. Maintaining regular meal times and walking for 10-15 minutes after meals can further support digestion. If symptoms persist after 3-4 weeks, consider a Panchakarma detox under Ayurvedic supervision. This approach should help restore balance, improve digestion, and regulate bowel movements without causing excessive activity.

Sounds like your digestive system's playing hard to get, huh? So, here's the deal — it seems like vata or kapha dosha might be acting up a bit. When the vata dosha's imbalanced, it can mess with your body's natural schedule, including digestion and elimination. Also, excessive kapha can lead to a kind of sluggishness and that feeling of fullness. Now for the practical stuff. Keep it simple, yeah? Start your morning with a cup of warm water with a slice of ginger or a squeeze of lemon. Not ice water, please; we're aiming to wake up agni (your digestive fire) gently, not freeze it. About eating, chew well and eat slow — like, way slower, okay? Smaller portions might help too. Try cooking with spices like cumin, fennel, and asafoetida, they're great for digestion. Avoid heavy, cold, or overly oily foods for a bit. They could be making your stomach feel like a bowling ball. As for the syrup — if it's laxative there's a chance you might be over-relying on it, and that kind of disturbs your body's natural rhythm. Instead, triphala is a great Ayurvedic option; take it at night with warm water. But don't go overboard; start with small amounts. When you mentioned Ayurveda made you go too much, maybe the herbs need adjusting. Everyone's prakriti's different, right? So, consulting with an Ayurvedic practitioner to get it spot-on could make a difference. Oh, and walk. Just walk a little after meals, nothing crazy. It helps the digestion groove start up. If you ever get pain or something feels really wrong, you gotta see a doc right away! Ayurveda's great and all, but there are times when modern medicine's your best buddy. Hope this tips you in the right direction — so your system settles down and follows your lead! And remember, be patient with your body; it's like handling a toddler some days, haha.
