🧿Ayurvedic Remedies for Constipation Relief🌿 (Kabj ka Gharelu Ilaj)



By Ayush Awasthi, BAMS Final Year Student

💬 Introduction: Constipation Is More Common Than You Think!

Constipation yaani kabj ek aisi samasya hai jisse har doosra vyakti kabhi na kabhi joojhta hai — chahe student ho, working professional ho ya senior citizen. 

It’s not just about missing a day in the loo. Jab pet saf nahi hota, pura din heavy lagta hai, mood kharab rehta hai, aur digestion aur immunity dono pe asar padta hai.

Mere ek dost ko lagbhag 6 mahine se constipation rehta tha. Har subah uska din ek struggle jaisa hota tha – hard stools, gas, aur heaviness. 

Tab humne Ayurveda ke kuch tested nuskhe lagaye… aur 1 mahine me hi fark aana shuru ho gaya. Ab woh bina kisi laxative ke apna pet easily saaf karta hai – naturally!


🔍 What is Constipation? (कब्ज क्या है?)

Constipation is a condition where bowel movements become less frequent, hard, dry, and sometimes painful.

🪔 In Ayurveda:

> “विबन्धो मलनिग्रहः”

(When stool doesn’t pass properly, it's called Vibandha = Constipation)

It’s mainly due to Vata imbalance – dryness, coldness and lack of regular movement in intestines.



❓Why Constipation Happens – Causes Explained in Modern + Ayurvedic View

🔬 Modern Causes of Constipation:

  • Low Fiber Diet – Junk food, processed food, or minimal fruits & vegetables
  • Sedentary Lifestyle – Lack of physical activity
  • Dehydration – Not drinking enough water
  • Excess Tea/Coffee – Diuretic effect can cause dryness
  • Suppressed Urge – Ignoring bowel movements
  • Medication – Iron supplements, antidepressants, etc.
  • Mental Stress – Mind-gut connection affects digestion

🧘‍♂️ Ayurvedic Causes of Constipation:

  • Vata Dosh Vriddhi – Dryness in intestines due to aggravated Vata
  • Mandagni (Weak Digestion Fire) – Low Agni means poor digestion
  • Apana Vayu Dysfunction – The vayu responsible for excretion doesn’t function properly
  • Atibhojan or Visham Aahar – Irregular meals or overeating junk
  • Dinacharya ka abhaav – No proper daily routine

👨‍⚕️ Personal Note: What Worked for My Friend's brother 

Mere dost ke bhai ka constipation chronic ho gaya tha – usne har tarah ka OTC laxative try kiya. Par koi permanent solution nahi mila. Tab humne:

  • Triphala + ghee-milk combo try kiya
  • Dinner jaldi aur halka khana start kiya
  • Daily 30 mins brisk walk + warm water in morning
  • Aur bas! 20 din me kabz gayab

Isliye, natural healing needs routine, not shortcuts.
