Constipation
The inability to completely evacuate the bowel or pass through very hard stools is called constipation or vibandh in Ayurveda. This problem is due to an incorrect lifestyle and bad eating habits. Although constipation is often considered a common problem, it can cause other problems such as tears, fistulas, piles, loss of appetite and indigestion if left untreated.
The causes for Constipation
To treat causal constipation, it is important to first understand the root cause. The most common reason is poor digestion due to irregular and inadequate eating habits, inadequate fluid intake, low fibre diet, lack of exercise and mediocre faeces. All this leads to incomplete digestion of food that is not expelled from the intestine and causes the formation of ama (mucus). The culprits are heavy and difficult to digest foods, as well as fatty, spicy, fried and malnourished foods. Eating in a disturbed atmosphere or watching television and getting up late can cause intestinal disease. Psychological factors such as stress, anxiety, jealousy and pain also play an important role and are considered in the treatment of constipation in Jiva.
Symptoms of Constipation
- Digestion (dyspepsia)
- Stomachache
- Nausea
- Flatulence
- Pain in the anus during defecation.
- The heaviness of the body
- Anorexy
- Acidity
According to Ayurveda, undigested food and hidden stools accumulate slowly in the stomach or large intestine and alter the Vata Dosha, which obstructs the digestive tract. If the digestive tract is not cleaned, the body can not facilitate intestinal transit, resulting in a state of constipation.
