Understanding Constipation

Constipation is one of the most common digestive disorders that affects people of all ages. In Ayurveda, constipation is primarily associated with an imbalance in the Apana Vata (the downward-moving energy of Vata dosha). When this energy is disturbed due to improper diet, stress, dehydration, or sedentary lifestyle, the natural elimination process is hampered, leading to difficulty in passing stools, bloating, heaviness, and discomfort.

Ayurvedic View

Ayurveda sees constipation not just as a local bowel problem but as a systemic imbalance that can affect the entire body. Long-term constipation can lead to headaches, piles, bad breath, acne, fatigue, and even mental stress.

At Jeevadhara, we focus on correcting the root cause by balancing the doshas, improving digestive fire (Agni), and restoring natural bowel movements.

Ayurvedic Treatments for Constipation

✅ Abhyangam (Oil Massage): Improves circulation, relaxes abdominal muscles, and stimulates the colon.
✅ Swedana (Herbal Steam Therapy): Helps loosen toxins and relieves dryness caused by aggravated Vata.
✅ Virechana (Medicated Purgation): A detoxification therapy to eliminate accumulated toxins and regulate bowel function.
✅ Basti (Medicated Enema): Considered the best therapy for Vata imbalance, helping restore healthy colon function.
✅ Diet & Lifestyle Guidance: High-fiber Ayurvedic diet, warm water intake, yoga, and daily routines to support digestion.
✅ Herbal Formulations: Triphala, Isabgol, and specific medicated oils are used to cleanse and strengthen the intestines naturally.
