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

Do not worry You can start in Chitrakadi vati-1 tab to be chewed twice daily Triphala churna-1 tsp with warm water at night Abhaya aristha- 4 tsp with equal quantity of water twice daily after food Drink plenty of fluids Include fibre in diet

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.
