If you have watched the movie “Piku” you know what a pain it is for the individual who is suffering from constipation as well as for the people around.
Reports and studies suggest that in the recent years an increased urban Indian population has infrequent or hard to pass stools. It is said that while globally only 10% of the people suffer from constipation, at least 14% of the urban India’s population complain of the same.

CAUSE OF COSTIPATION

Clinically, constipation is attributed to reasons such as medications, problems with the muscles in the digestive system, medical conditions. But most people who suffer from constipation in urban India, the cause can be assigned to lifestyle and food habits such as:

  • High intake of non vegetarian food
  • Low water intake
  • Consuming more of processed food, less fiber in diet
  • Eating oily, spicy and junk food

SYMPTOMS OF COSTIPATION

The symptoms of constipation are

  • Few bowel movements
  • Strained bowel movements
  • Belly bloating

HOW TO TREAT CONSTIPATION

here are many people who resort to laxatives or other modern medications to treat constipation. However, it is not necessary to take medications to treat constipation.

For those who are not severely constipated, making changes in eating patterns and lifestyle can help relieve the symptoms. Some of these changes are as simple as increasing fluid and fiber intake. People who did this regularly have professed that there is relief from constipation.

Those who suffer from more chronic forms of constipation may need some medication apart from changes in lifestyle and diet. Ayurveda has medications for most ailments and yes Ayurveda can also treat constipation.

One Ayurvedic formulation that is very effective on constipation is Triphala.

HOW DOES TRIPHALA WORK ON CONSTIPATION

The three fruits that are a part of this supplement are all natural laxatives. Apart from this they also have a positive effect on the digestion and excretory system thus helping our body to strengthen and maintain these important systems.

Haritaki is a potent laxative. It acts as an astringent and lubricant inside the stomach. This action helps in loosening the stools.

Amalaki has both laxative and cooling properties. It cools the inner lining of the stomach and reduces inflammation. Amalaki helps reduce the burning sensation that irritates the stomach.

Bibhitaki is the most effective among the three fruits on constipation. It is not only a laxative but also contains dietary fibers. This combination helps fight constipation.

Since all the ingredients in Triphala are effective against constipation, Triphala is an excellent choice to fight this irritable symptom.

  1. Take 1-2 teaspoon of Triphala and gulp it down with a glass of water.
  1. Warm some water and add 1-2 teaspoon Triphala to it. Let it stay for 5-10 minutes and gulp it down.
