Proper chewing of food is very important.

Take plenty of leafy vegetables and salads.

Whole grain bread can be taken. Unpolished rice can be taken moderately.

Drink a glass of water upon waking, just after visiting bathroom.

Dry fruits like raisins, dates or figs to be soaked overnight and eaten in the morning.

Include more fruits in your daily diet helps (grapes-lemon-apples-banana-oranges, etc.)

Eat steamed fresh vegetables.

Green leafy veggies may be balanced for Vayu doshas by cooking with ginger, cumin, coriander and asafetida.

Eating papaya before or after meals is helpful in relieving constipation.

Regular physical exercise is also important for having clear bowels. One should try to have relaxed mind, free from anxiety, stress, etc.

Apathya

For chronic constipation, Ayurveda offers a holistic approach that addresses both immediate relief and long-term balance. First, it’s essential to recognize that constipation often indicates a Vata dosha imbalance. To alleviate symptoms quickly, consider Triphala powder, a classical formulation known for its gentle laxative properties. Mix 1-2 teaspoons of Triphala powder in warm water and drink at bedtime. This aids in softening stool and promoting regular bowel movements.

Hydration is crucial. Consume warm water throughout the day to lubricate the intestines and support digestion. Begin your day with a glass of warm water on an empty stomach. Avoid cold drinks which can aggravate Vata and slow digestion.

Include healthy, oily foods in your diet to pacify Vata. Use sesame or olive oil in cooking, and consider taking 1 teaspoon of ghee (clarified butter) in warm milk before bed if you’re not lactose intolerant. Fiber-rich foods like cooked vegetables, whole grains, and soaked flaxseeds can help, but prioritize cooked over raw foods, as they’re easier to digest.

A consistent daily routine supports Vata balance. Try to eat and sleep at the same time each day. Engage in calming activities like gentle yoga or Pranayama (breathing exercises), which promote digestive fire (Agni) and reduce stress. Avoid meals when stressed or on-the-go as this can worsen constipation.

Lastly, if symptoms persist or worsen, consulting a qualified Ayurvedic practitioner for tailored treatment is advisable. Chronic constipation could indicate an underlying issue that may need deeper intervention. It’s important to closely follow these recommendations while being cautious and patient as the body takes time to restore balance.

HELLO HIMANSHU,

Your symptoms suggest chronic constipation, which can lead or to be associated with

1) DIETRY ISSUES -low fibre intake - insufficient water consumption

2) LIFESTYLE FACTORS -sedentry habits - ignoring the urge to pass stool - stress and anxiety

-Irritable bowel syndrome(ibs-c)= constipation-dominant ibs -pelvic floor dysfunction

Ayurvedic views constipation as a vata imbalance, particularly apana vata, which governs elimination. Hard stools and dryness point to excessive dryness in the colon.

Likely involved - vata prakopa(aggravation of vata) - dry, cold, rough qualities dominating

TREATMENT GOALS 1) soften and regulate stools 2) Balance vata dosha 3) improves digestive strength 4) prevent recurrence

START INTERNALLY WITH -these target vata imbalance, dry stools and poor bowel movement

MILD DAILY LAXATIVES

1) TRIPHALA CHURNA= 1 tsp with warm water at bedtime =softens stool, promotes complete evacuation, rejuvinates colon

2) HARITAKI CHURNA= 3gm at bedtime with warm water =vata pacifying, gentle laxative, relieves gas and bloating

3) ABHAYARISHTA= 30 ml with equal water twice daily after meals =best for chronic constipation, piles , anal fissure and gas

4) AVIPATIKAR CHURNA(if acidity)= 5gm with water before meals = reduces pitta, heylpsbowel movement

STRONGER LAXATIVES( IF SEVERE CONSTIPATION)

1) GANDHARVAHASTADI KASHAYA= 15ml with warm water twice daily before meals =clears vata from the colon, use for dry constipation

2) ERANDA TAILA= 5-10 ml with warm milk at bedtime once weekly =strong purgatives, lubricates colon,heals fissure

ENEMA(basti therapy- for chronic case) -sneha basti- lubricates cold, soothes nerves, best for vata - Niruha basti- cleanses colon, resets vata balance

DIET RECOMMENDATIONS the goal is to moisten the intestines, balance vata, and ensure soft, regular stools

FRUITS= ripe banana, papaya, figs(soaked), prunes, soaked raisins, stewed apples- natural laxatives, fibre rich

VEGETABLES= bottle gourd, pumpkin, spinach, carrots, beetroot(cooked)- easy to digest, promotes bowel movement

GRAINS= rice, oats, wheat, barley- light, nourishing grains

FATS= cows ghee(1-2 tsp/day), sesame oil- lubricates intestines, pacifies vata

LIQUID= warm water, soups, thin moong dal, herbal teas- keeps digestion smooth, hydrates colon

SPICES= hing, ajwain, cumin, fennel, ginger- improves digestion, reduces gas and bloating.

FOOD TO AVOID

DRY FOODS= crackers, chips, popcorn

COLD OR RAW FOOD= salads, refrigerated drinks

HEAVY AND CONSTIPATING= cheese, red meat, fried foods, too much panner

REFINED AND PROCESSED= maida, white bread, pastries

SPICY OR ACIDIC= chillies, pickles, citrus in exces

-Avoid sitting long on the toilet -never suppress the urge to defecate - avoid long sitting hours-take short walks or breaks -manage stress- if directly impacts your bowel via the gut-brain axis

YOGA FOR YOUR CASE -practice daily, on an empty stomach ,preferably in the morning

pawanmuktasana- stimulates intestines, releievs gas Vajrasana= aids digestion if done after meals Malasana= opens pelvis, supports bowel movement Bhujangasana= strengthens abdominal organs Dhanurasana= massages abdominal organs

PRANAYAM -anulom vilom bhramari. sheetali

DAILY HABITS -Warm water+ghee in the morning -soaoked figs or raisins before breakfast -yoga and breathing in morning

DO FOLLOW

HOPE THIS MIGHT BE HELPFUL

THANK YOU

DR. MAITRI ACHARYA

Chronic constipation often ties to an imbalance of Vata dosha, affecting the Apana Vayu aspect related to elimination. Addressing this can bring relief. Focus first on your dietary habits: increase intake of warm, cooked foods like moong dal or kitchari. Avoid excessively dry, cold or raw foods, as they aggravate Vata. Ghee, in moderate amounts, can lubricate intestines and facilitate smoother bowel movements.

Hydration’s also key; sip warm water throughout the day and consider taking a glass of warm water with a teaspoon of ghee before bed. Triphala, an Ayurvedic herbal remedy, supports digestion and elimination. Take it in powder form, 1 teaspoon mixed with warm water at night.

Establish a routine including regular meal times, as it regulates the body’s biological clock. Adding more fiber with cooked vegetables like pumpkin and sweet potato can support bowel function. Include mild spices like cumin, fennel, and asafoetida for digestive support.

Incorporate simple lifestyle changes: regular exercise like walking or yoga to improve digestion and reduce stress, which can exacerbate Vata imbalances. Restful sleep is essential too, as it rejuvenates the bodily systems. If these changes do not provide relief or if there’s a significant change in symptoms like severe pain or bleeding, it’s important to consult with a healthcare provider for a thorough evaluation. This personalized approach may assist with addressing both the physical and mental health impacts you’re experiencing.
