Let’s go through the ideas about constipation in siddha and ayurveda view 🌿☘️

According to Siddha View:-

•Due to some behavioural changes of an individual those might be food patterns or daily routine .There is an imbalance in “Vata” and “Pitta”Doshas.

•Vata which is responsible for dryness in the body. Pitta is correlated with the digestion through Agnis of our body and building up energy .

•This imbalance causes further variance in Kapha Dosha ,which effects the body’s balance (Swastha Awastha).

•The toxins which are produced in the body is circulated throughout the body and disturbs the proper functioning of the systems. It is called “Ama” -indigestion

According to ayurveda view:-

The excessive amounts of dryness in the body ,which means excessive Vata Dosha/Air element which results dryness of colon. That results passing hard stools.

Symptoms:-🧐

1.Straining to pass the stools.

2.Flatulence

3.Incontinence

4. Sense that bowel movement was incomplete.

5.Feeling of being bloated up.

Common Causes of constipation:-

Milk might cause indigestion for some people in excess during constipation period.

•Stress- Causes slow muscle contraction of colon and delays urge to pass the stools.

•Activity- Less physical activity can build up heat within the body .
