Atonic Constipation - #3863

For years, I’ve struggled with atonic constipation. My bowel movements are infrequent and require a lot of effort, leaving me feeling bloated and uncomfortable most of the time. I’ve tried laxatives, but they only provide temporary relief. Is there an effective Ayurvedic treatment for atonic constipation? What herbs or remedies are commonly used for atonic constipation in Ayurveda? I’ve heard about Triphala and Isabgol, but I’m not sure if they work for this specific condition or if there’s something better. Are there oils or decoctions that can stimulate the intestines naturally? Another question I have is whether atonic constipation is related to a Vata imbalance. If so, does Ayurveda recommend certain dietary changes to balance Vata and improve digestion? My current diet includes a lot of processed foods, and I’m willing to make changes if that can help. Does Ayurveda address the root cause of atonic constipation, like sluggish intestinal muscles? If anyone here has dealt with atonic constipation using Ayurvedic methods, I’d love to know what worked for you, how long it took, and if there are any precautions to take while starting treatment.
