While inadequate fiber and water intake are common culprits, a hectic lifestyle is also often to blame for this nagging health problem. Constipation results due to derangement of digestive fire, followed by vitiation of apana vayu energy situated in the pelvic region and below.
The Ayurvedagram’s Ayurvedic treatment for Constipation aims at lifestyle modifications such as scheduling regular meal times, responding to natural urges timely, high fluid and high fiber intake, exercises to stimulate and strengthen the muscles of the intestinal tract along with administration of carminatives and mild laxatives.
Long term sufferers might be advised to undergo specific Panchakarma Ayurvedic Treatment procedures, like Snehavasti (medicated oil enemas) and/or Kashayavasthi (medicated decoction enemas) after a course of Snehana and Swedana to correct the deranged apana vayu.
