Constipation

  According to Ayurveda, constipation leads to many diseases, by stagnating toxins. Constipation can easily be treated by Pancha bhoota. Since Constipation is caused by many factors we suggest to follow these general recommendations for one month and if you still have problems write to us and we will be able to suggest individualized therapy for you.

Water Therapy :   We generally recommend doing Water Therapy  to lubricate the colon and wet the stools so that it can pass out easily. Instead of drinking room temperature water you can drink luke warm water (with general flavors like ginger, cumin seeds, mint leaves, cardamom, corriander seeds, sarsparilla root powder, hibiscus flowers etc)  in constipating conditions for better results.

Earth Therapy: Poor bowel movements could also occur due to less  fiber  in diet. We recommend using fiber rich whole grains like brown rice (remember to soak in water and cook), whole rye flakes (33% fiber compared to 20% fiber in oats), whole wheat flakes (28%), barley flakes (26%).

Include more vegetables and fruits in your diet. Avoid any kind of meat foods.

Drink these fresh juices, one a day and repeat the seven every week. It is
easy. Just cut and put in blender with little water and dates if needed ,
blend and drink.

Flax Gun-powder

Take one handful of brown flax seeds and quarter teaspoon of milk-thistle seeds and if needed add one table spoon of corn bran or wheat bran or rice bran and brown-sugar or jaggery (palm sugar better) or succant for sweet taste. Grind them all in a coffee grinder for less than a minute. This is very delicious to eat. You can eat as a tasty healthy snack any time of the day. After half an hour drinking water will dramatically relieve constipation.

Very important is to cleanse the liver and intestines with Castor oil and Gallnut (cleansing) alternatively every two months.

Fire Therapy:  Less walking causes poor stool (bowel) movements and  that also contributes to constipation. Avoid being  sedantary (more hours of sitting before computers or resting). Walk twice in the morning and evening.

Yoga is very good especially Surya Namaskar given in fire section. It
helps in good lymphatic circulation.
