Doctors' responses
Experiencing persistent fullness and frequent urges to pass stool can often be linked to digestive imbalances in Ayurveda. This might be due to an imbalance in the Samana Vata, a subtype of Vata dosha that governs movement in the gastrointestinal tract, or it could be related to weak Agni, the digestive fire.
First, paying attention to your diet is crucial. Opt for warm, cooked foods that are easy to digest. Include more vegetables like zucchini, carrots, and spinach, and avoid raw, cold, and heavy foods which can aggravate Vata dosha and slow digestion. Increase your intake of ginger – a few slices steeped in hot water can help stimulate digestion when taken before meals.
Avoid excessive intake of caffeine and processed foods, as these can disturb digestion further. Also, consider having your main meal at midday when digestive fire is typically strongest and prefer lighter meals in the evening.
Practicing a regular routine could also help regulate bowel movements. Try to wake up early – around sunrise is ideal – and engage in mild physical activity like yoga or walking. These activities stimulate digestion and help in the elimination process.
Stress management is another factor. Techniques like deep breathing exercises, pranayama, or meditation can aid in calming the mind and improving digestion.
Using Ayurvedic herbs like Triphala may be beneficial as it is known to promote digestion and regular bowel movements. Take half a teaspoon with warm water before bed, but ensure its use is suitable for your current health condition.
If there’s no improvement, consider seeking guidance from a healthcare professional to rule out any underlying conditions that require medical intervention. Chronic symptoms should not be ignored, and holistic approaches should complement, not replace, conventional medical advice when necessary.
