Home Remedies

Constipation is usually related to the imbalance of the Ayurvedic body energy, vata. Vata imbalance causes dryness in the body, and problems related to movement and internal transportation of substances.

Diet: Avoid fried food, white flour and white sugar products, cheese, and processed food. Try not to drink tea or coffee. Dry, cold or light food should not form a large part of the diet.

Drink water regularly during the day. However, do not drink water immediately after or before meals. Try not to overeat, and have at least 4-5 hours between two meals. Avoid heavy food, or food that is difficult to digest at night, and eat at least 2 hours before sleeping. Drinking a glass of hot milk before bed is also good.

My protocol includes dietary guidelines, supplement recommendations, home remedies and laxative herbal powders. Most cases are successful but chronic cases require colon cleansing: signs of an unhealthy colon include heavy tongue coating, sinking stools, only or or no stools passer daily. Often requires liver detoxification.
