Addressing advanced Parkinson’s and severe constipation through Ayurveda involves a comprehensive approach. In Ayurveda, constipation often relates to Vata dosha imbalance, which can also aggravate Parkinson’s symptoms. It’s crucial to tackle both with consistent, gentle strategies.
Firstly, diet modifications can be significant. Encourage your mother to have warm, cooked meals, as these are generally easier to digest and beneficial for Vata. Introduce foods like ghee, which not only provides lubrication to the intestines but also increases Agni, or digestive fire. A spoon of warm ghee in a glass of warm milk before bed can help soften stools. Complement this with soaked raisins, which possess mild laxative properties.
For herbal support, Triphala churna is a traditional recommendation for its gentle laxative effect. It’s typically taken in the evening with warm water.= Start with a small dose, around half a teaspoon, and adjust based on her body’s response. Brahmi and Ashwagandha are also beneficial for supporting the nervous system generally. Consider consulting an Ayurvedic practitioner to tailor the appropriate herbs and dosages for her specific condition.
Hydration and routine are also key. Ensure solid water intake throughout the day and encourage mild exercises like yoga or stretching, to help improve bowel movements naturally. Never underestimate the bowel-brain connection — establish a regular time each morning for restroom visits to emphasize routine.
Be aware, though, while Ayurveda can offer meaningful support, Parkinson’s is complex; it’s essential that ongoing treatment plans include guidance from her primary neurologist. Always coordinate with her healthcare providers when introducing any new therapies. Timely medical intervention for bowel obstructions, if suspected, is crucial as well.
