Constipation
At Rudra Ayurvedic Clinic, we understand constipation as more than just delayed bowel movements and It is a disruption of Apana Vata, the energy that controls elimination.
In Ayurveda, constipation (Vibandha) is often linked to:
- Dryness and cold in the colon
- Irregular eating habits or skipping meals
- Dehydration or lack of dietary fiber
- Stress and disturbed sleep
When Apana Vata is imbalanced, it causes dry, hard stools, abdominal discomfort, and a sense of incomplete evacuation. Ayurveda doesn’t just treat symptoms. It works on restoring balance through internal lubrication, detoxification, and strengthening digestion.
Recognise Signals Early
Ayurveda recognizes constipation as both a digestive and nervous system issue, needing holistic and sustained treatment.
Physical Symptoms (As per modern understanding):
- Infrequent bowel movements (less than 3/week)
- Straining or hard stools
- Bloating, abdominal discomfort
- Feeling of incomplete evacuation
Ayurvedic Observations (Rooted in dosha imbalance):
- Vibandha – difficulty or delay in stool passage
- Apana Vata aggravation causing dryness and tension
- Accumulation of Ama and Vata imbalance
- Impaired digestive fire (Agni) and Vata blockages
What does the research say?
Ayurvedic Support

Oil Therapy
Clinical trials show Eranda Taila is effective in short-term management of chronic constipation, particularly in Vata-dominant individuals, when administered under guidance.
Natural Care
A 2022 Ayurveda clinical study found that Abhayarishta improved stool frequency and quality in geriatric patients with functional constipation.
