Causes of Constipation
According to Ayurveda, constipation is generally caused due to aggravation of vata. But it can also be caused due to aggravation of pitta or kapha.
It is mainly caused by wrong eating habits and bowel habits. Eating too much of food that the digestive system can't handle, eating food items that are not easily digested by body, not taking enough fibrous food like fruits and vegetables, irregular sleeping pattern, mental tensions, etc can cause constipation.
Herbal Treatment for Constipation
The best laxative is triphala. When used as a laxative, triphala strengthens colon. Other laxatives are harsh on colon, which is unfavorable condition. Triphala balances metabolism, thereby ensuring more nourishment to blood. Take a teaspoon of triphala powder at bed time.
Triphala is basically an ayurvedic medicine that is popular as rasayana or the rejuvenator. It is the combination of three herbs. These herbs are
- Amla (Emblica officinalis)
- Harada (Terminalia chebula)
- Behada (Terminalia belerica)
Triphala is a valuable herb for digestive problems. It not only works as a mild laxative but also helps in improving the peristaltic movements in the gastro intestinal tract. It stimulates liver to secrete bile juices that are very essential for fat metabolism.
According to ayurvedic practitioners, it is one of the best colon cleansers and is highly recommended in constipation. It helps in detoxification of the body. It has gained the popularity as the mild laxative.
Also include fruits like papaya, mango, banana, grapes, oranges, apple etc in your diet. Carefully chew your food. Do not eat spicy, frozen food items. Avoid food items that have preservatives.
Food prepared with cumin seeds, coriander, turmeric and fennel as condiments are easily digested.

These foods are all fine and dandy as a preventative but what do you do if you are sitting there trying to pass a concrete block.
tell us Mr. smarty pants
I eat healthy 90% of the time... all whole grains, plenty of fruits and veggies... lean chicken/turkey/beef(only sometimes) and fish.. but eat one big mac and can't shit for a week!!
Can someone recommend besides the obvious (Fiber) to help me get this rock out of my ass?
Good one.The content says that milk can cause constipation. But people says that worm milk before going to bed at night helps to have proper motion in the morning.
It suddenly crept up on me; never experienced it. Quite painful to pass; tried lemon juice in hot tea, warm milk, 2 supposed herbal laxatives and it is slowly coming right, don;t want to force it. I agree that we get conflicting info.
it's not very good when you only like food that causes it, but it wouldn't hurt to limit myself to get rid of this nasty thing.
Eat lots of RAW fruit and vegetables and try having a Green Smoothie. Look up Green smoothies in google.
Raw vegetables and fruit have a high nutrition value. Once cooked even lightly steamed you loose alot of its nutrition and can even make some veggies less healthier.
Hope this helps has worked wonders on me...

OK no offense to some of you but when I read a website looking for information I don't appreciate seeing comments that are rude and use dirty language. To those of you who may have tried these things and it does not work remember that somethings do not work for all and if you continue to have problems go see your doctor.
No offense to Reba--but i have laughed my head off reading some of this...I guess it's better to take it lightly. What's not to be taken lightly is the worrying and anxiety you go through trying to deal with this problem. it is very troublesome. In my case i found out is caused by malfunction of the thyroid gland..., I think!!
What about; an apple a day, keeps the doctor away.
I agree with reba. Its not always going to work for everyone if it doesn't work for you then maybe its a bigger issue and you should go see your doctor. You don't have to insult the helpful information that is put out there because it works for most people. People need to stop being so rude.
most of the foods and drinks that are supposed to help you pass through your body i am not allowed, this is because, although im 18 i have already got kidney stones and a stomach ulcer. Is there any other solutions for y i am constipated? Could this be my drugs that i am on, stress or any other reasons. The items i cannot have are anything with citric acid in, anything that causes stomach acid, anything with lactose in (as im lactose intollerent) anything fizzy etc. I usually have a healthy diet but just wanted to no and understand how to reduce my constipation and to whether it is the antibiotics i am currently using for kidney stones.
im female and currently on duromine to lose weight, ever since i been on them, i get regular constipation. and it gets ot the point where i am to scared to go to the toilet because it really hurts., now since straining and straining i have a inner muscle or something down lower left side it hurts and aches, think its a muscle or nerve from straining. I am sick of not having a normal bowel system. i notice when i have bread i get it to. i eat salads and vegies mainly green vegies, broccolie, snow peas, zucchini. i have lean meats i always buy fresh fruit and vegies. im not a huge fruit person but i do eat, blueberries, strawberrys, and paw paw.
would being a vegetarian help not having constipation?
I suffered for 20 years with constipation. It was horrific. Once I went to the emergency room after not having had a bowel movement for nine days! Believe me I know. And I had tried every remedy possible. None worked for long, till I paid to find the LASTING solution. I'm giving it to you here free, because I want others to know the immense relief I have found! If every day you take 500 to 1,000 mg of magnesium (I buy Nature Life from Vitamin Shoppe, but you can purchase anywhere) This has vitamin B6 in it. Then add 1 50 mg tablet of P-5-P which is pyridoxal-5-phosphate. Again I get this from Vitamin Shoppe and use their brand. For the first week, it only worked sporadically. But afterward, you will know the bliss of no bloating, daily movement, sometimes even twice or three times daily in an effortless way. The freedom is amazing! I didn't believe this would work, but I stuck with it a few days and it was amazing. I am now doing just 500 mg a day and have perfect bowel movements. If you get out of whack, up the amount. I've found no side effects or problems associated with it. Also, if you are needing results and don't have this yet, when I went to the hospital, they gave me an enema of warm milk and molasses. Seriously! It didn't work the first hour very much, but oh man, in about a couple hours it really let loose! It does work! My only motivation, is to see others get the relief I did. My life is wonderful again. And I'm betting yours can be too! Blessings!
Thanks a lot for this wonderful info. It is a GREAT relief.
I have had severe constipation since I was born.
Whenever I pass one it cuts the skin and I bleed horribly!
I have tried everything possible trust me. My doctor says there is nothing else I can try!
When I was in hospital last year to get my appendix out I didn't pass one for almost four weeks. I had to do it and it reopened the already there scars and I bled like a firehose!
Please help me.
I wanna know if you can get rid of constipation and never have it again without using any treatments.
My doctor told me to eat PoPcOrN and I'm only 12 so u can trust me!!!
