Constipation that has persisted since childhood can often be due to an imbalance in the Vata dosha in Ayurveda, which governs movement and elimination in the body. Chronic constipation indicates sluggish Agni (digestive fire) and an accumulation of toxins (Ama) in the digestive tract. To address this, it's important to focus on improving digestion, promoting regular bowel movements, and incorporating a diet that supports Vata balancing. Ayurvedic Treatment: Herbs: Triphala: A mild but effective herb that promotes regular bowel movements and detoxifies the digestive system. Haritaki: Known for its ability to improve digestion and relieve constipation. Isabgol (Psyllium husk): Helps add bulk to stool and promotes easier elimination. Oil Massage: Massaging your abdomen with warm sesame oil in a clockwise direction can stimulate bowel movement and reduce Vata imbalances. Warm water with lemon: Drinking a glass of warm water with lemon on an empty stomach every morning helps to cleanse the intestines and stimulate digestion. Diet Plan: Warm, moist, and easily digestible foods: Include foods like khichdi, soups, cooked vegetables, and stews that are warm and moist to help with bowel movement. High-fiber foods: Incorporate more whole grains like oats, brown rice, quinoa, and barley, as well as fruits like apples, bananas, papaya, and prunes, which promote regularity. Healthy fats: Include ghee and olive oil to lubricate the intestines and promote smoother bowel movements. Fluids: Drink plenty of warm water, herbal teas (such as ginger or peppermint), and fresh juices to stay hydrated and keep the digestive system functioning properly. Avoid dry, cold, and heavy foods: Minimize consumption of cold drinks, dry snacks, processed foods, and too many dairy products, as these can aggravate Vata and worsen constipation. Lifestyle Recommendations: Regular physical activity: Gentle exercise, such as walking or yoga, helps stimulate digestion and relieve constipation. Stress management: Practice mindfulness, yoga, or meditation to manage stress, which can be a contributing factor to digestive issues. Consulting an Ayurvedic practitioner for a more personalized plan would be beneficial. If symptoms persist, it may also be worth investigating further with a healthcare professional.

Namaste Harshil ji, Chronic constipation indicates a Vata imbalance in the digestive system. Ayurveda focuses on improving Agni (digestive fire), lubricating the intestines, and restoring regular bowel movements through herbs, diet, and lifestyle changes. Ayurvedic Chikitsa for Constipation Herbal Remedies: Triphala Churna: Take 1 tsp with warm water before bedtime for gentle cleansing. Abhayarishta: 20 ml with equal water after meals to relieve chronic constipation. Castor Oil: 1-2 tsp with warm milk at bedtime (occasionally) for lubrication. Diet Plan: Include: Warm, cooked, and easily digestible foods. Fiber-rich fruits like papaya, figs, and soaked raisins. Vegetables like spinach, bottle gourd, and carrots. Ghee in meals for intestinal lubrication. Avoid: Dry, cold, and processed foods. Excess tea, coffee, and spicy or fried items. Lifestyle Recommendations: Hydration: Drink 2-3 liters of warm water daily. Start your day with a glass of lukewarm water with lemon. Regular Meal Timings: Avoid skipping meals or irregular eating habits. Exercise: Gentle yoga postures like Pawanmuktasana, Malasana, and Bhujangasana stimulate digestion. Other Therapies: Abhyanga (Oil Massage): Apply warm sesame oil to your abdomen and do a gentle circular massage before bathing. Basti (Enema): Consult an Ayurvedic practitioner for a medicated enema, which is very effective for chronic Vata-related constipation. Prognosis Improvement can be observed in 2-4 weeks with consistent adherence to these measures. For long-term relief, lifestyle and dietary modifications are essential. Wishing you good health and balance,
