Constipation is a most common complaint of digestive system due to faulty lifestyle. It can be treated with Ayurvedic Medicine effectively.
In Ayurvedic texts, Vibandha (constipation) is not mentioned as a specific disease, but it is mentioned as various diseases Nidana (causal factor), Lakshana (symptoms) and Upadrava (complications). can be considered lakšana in Udavarta (retention of feces, plates and urine) as Anaha (obstacles), Adhmana (bloating), Malaavastamba (stool hardness) on Apana Vayu Pratiloma Gati (reverse flow).
Usually, patients who complain of Vibandha have Krura Koshtha, which results from Vata dominance, and due to Vata Rukshna Guna, it increases water absorption and causes hard stools.
In fact, all people with a vata constitution have this problem to some degree, Pakvashaya is the main place for Vibandha which is dominated by Apana Vata. Rukha Guna, represented by Vata, continues to produce hard-to-pass stools.
Vibandha management relies on Samprapti Vighatana, and Apana Vata is the main Dosha that causes Vibandha, so the drug opposite to Vata Dosha, which is Ushna, Sniggha, Guru, Sara, and Dravya, should be used to treat constipation.
This is a prescription guide for Ayurveda Physician Only. Doctor Should choose different Formulation & Dose according to Patients.
