Constipation
Holistic & Long-Lasting Relief through Ayurveda
Ayurveda, the ancient Indian system of medicine, offers holistic and natural remedies that treat the root cause of constipation. Through a balanced approach including diet, lifestyle changes, herbs, and detox therapies, Ayurveda helps restore digestive health and ensures long-term relief.
What is Constipation?
Constipation is a common digestive issue affecting nearly 14% of the Indian population. It is defined as:
- Passing hard, dry stools
- Straining during bowel movements
- Having fewer than three bowel movements per week
Constipation often causes bloating, cramps, heaviness, and incomplete evacuation.
Ignoring constipation can lead to complications like piles, fissures, fistula, ulcers, and severe abdominal discomfort.
Ayurvedic treatment is safe, natural, and effective, as it focuses on correcting the underlying cause.
Ayurvedic Home Remedies for Constipation
- Drink warm water at bedtime & early morning
- Take 1 teaspoon ghee with warm water/milk before bed
- Take Triphala churna at bedtime
- Soak 5–7 raisins overnight; eat in the morning
- Take Ajwain + black salt (½ tsp) with lukewarm water after meals
- Drink freshly prepared buttermilk regularly
Ayurvedic View: Why Constipation Happens
Ayurveda explains constipation as an imbalance of Vata dosha, especially its cold and dry qualities. Low digestive fire (Agni) leads to incomplete digestion, causing the colon to become dry and blocked.
