Infrequent, difficult bowel movements can lead to discomfort and systemic toxin buildup. Ayurvedic treatment for constipation employs gentle Virechana Panchakarma (therapeutic purgation) or Vasti (herbal enemas) to restore healthy elimination. Internal herbs such as Triphala, Senna, and Haritaki stimulate peristalsis, while Abhyanga and steam therapy enhance circulation to the digestive tract. A Vata-soothing diet of warm cooked grains, ghee-rich dishes, and hydrating broths encourages regularity. Patients also adopt mindful eating practices and daily tongue scraping. Within days to weeks, bowel movements normalize, abdominal discomfort eases, and digestive equilibrium is reestablished.
