Ayurvedic Treatment for Constipation
Do you often feel sluggish, bloated, or experience difficulty passing stools?
Constipation is a common digestive complaint characterized by infrequent (fewer than three per week) and often difficult bowel movements. In Bangalore’s fast-paced life, poor diet and stress can aggravate this condition, causing bloating and discomfort that interfere with daily routines.
Seeking Ayurvedic treatment for constipation can provide relief through natural, holistic methods. Yuvrit Ayurveda offers personalized care that addresses both symptoms and root causes of constipation, ensuring gentle yet effective relief.
Ayurvedic Perspective
In Ayurveda, constipation is referred to as Vibandha, most often caused by an imbalance of Vata dosha, particularly Apana Vata, which governs downward movement and elimination. It is more commonly observed in Vata prakriti individuals due to traits like Krura Koshtha (hard bowel nature) and Vishama Agni (irregular digestive fire).
Rather than seeing constipation as an isolated issue, Ayurveda views it as a signal of disrupted Agni (digestive fire), accumulation of ama (toxins), and a breakdown in the body’s natural rhythms. Causes include:
Causes according to Ayurveda
Ayurvedic texts list several factors that kindle Vata and weaken digestion, including:
- Dietary Habits: Excessive intake of dry, cold, or processed foods (e.g. crackers, unripe fruits) and insufficient fiber or water hamper digestion
- Lifestyle Patterns: Irregular eating schedules, inadequate physical activity, chronic stress, and suppressing natural urges (like ignoring the need to defecate) all aggravate Vata.
- Environmental/Seasonal Factors: Exposure to cold, dry weather or abrupt seasonal changes can disrupt Vata balance and weaken Agni.
Other Triggers: Long-term medication use or traveling can also impair gastrointestinal rhythm.
Ayurvedic management focuses on restoring balance by pacifying aggravated doshas, particularly Vata dosha, and realigning the digestive system. This holistic approach includes:

Conventional vs Ayurveda Perspective
Conventional Perspective
Ayurveda Perspective
What & Why
- Fewer than three bowel movements per week, often accompanied by
hard, dry stools and difficulty passing them.
- Common causes include: low fiber intake, dehydration, sedentary
lifestyle & stress etc
- Primarily an imbalance in Vata dosha, especially Apana Vata, which governs elimination.
- Various dietary, lifestyles and environmental triggers can trigger imbalance in Apana vata (as mentioned above) depending on individual body type including the conventional causes
Ayurveda Perspective
How
- Symptom relief through increased
fiber and fluid intake, over-the-
counter laxatives, and stool softeners.
- Correct the root imbalances i.e. the aggravated Vata and disturbed Agni through diet, herbal medication, lifestyle changes, and Ayurvedic therapies like Basti (medicated enema)
When to consult doctor
If constipation lasts more than a few weeks despite home remedies or causes significant pain, bloating or bleeding, it’s important to seek professional care.
Medical experts advise consulting a doctor when constipation persists over 3 weeks or accompanies severe discomfort.
An Ayurvedic consultation can be especially helpful if conventional measures provide only temporary relief. In Bangalore, Yuvrit Ayurveda offers timely consultations to assess your condition and recommend natural treatments before complications (like hemorrhoids or fissures) develop.
