Understanding Constipation (कब्ज) from Ayurvedic Perspective
Key Symptoms: fewer than 3 bowel movements per week, hard dry stools, straining during bowel movements, feeling of incomplete emptying, bloating and discomfort.
Ayurvedic Root Cause: Vata excess in Pakvashaya (large intestine) causing dryness and reduced peristaltic movement — suppressing natural urges worsens this.
Modern medicine provides symptomatic relief for Constipation but rarely addresses the underlying doshic imbalance. Ayurveda corrects this fundamental imbalance — providing more lasting and holistic healing. The Ayurvedic approach combines targeted herbs, dietary changes and lifestyle modifications for comprehensive management.
