Sounds like you’re dealing with a combo of constipation and maybe a bit of excess heat in your body. Typical in Ayurveda, we look at imbalances. Dry stools and constipation? Could be a Vata issue – that’s air and space elements acting up. That burning sensation when peeing often points to the Pitta dosha, the fire and water elements. So, let’s balance those out.

First, hydration is key here. Warm water sips throughout the day, especially in the morning with a splash of lemon or a bit of honey, can help support your body. Maybe drink around 8-10 glasses, but listen to your body’s cues too. You don’t wanna force too much.

For diet, introduce more fiber-rich foods. Stewed apples or pears in the morning, man, they work wonders. With some flaxseeds or soaked raisins might make a difference. Avoid dry, cold, or processed foods as they might exacerbate Vata and your constipation.

Herbs like Triphala can be helpful. A teaspoon in warm water at night can gently aid digestion. But start light, maybe half a teaspoon if you’re new to it. Aloe vera juice, half a cup in the morning, could ease that burning urination - also cooling for Pitta.

Activity matters too. Light exercise like yoga or walking post meals can stimulate digestion. Eases Vata imbalances in a blance good way.

With burning urination, make sure you limit spicy and fried foods just for a while. Coconut water is cooling and soothing. Drink it midday or before lunch.

Also, if there’s severe discomfort or this persists, really consider getting checked by a healthcare pro. Balancing doshas takes time, consistency in practice is key.

Personalized approaches work best, so tweak as needed; it’s a journey, not a one-size-fits-all fix. Just take it slow, you’ll get the hang of it.
