What is Constipation?
Constipation means passing stools less than three times a week, straining, or feeling that the bowel is not fully empty. When it lasts for months it can lead to piles, fissures, bloating, headaches and low energy.
Regular use of strong laxatives can make the bowel lazier over time. We aim to restore the natural movement of the gut through diet, routine and gentle medicines that are tapered once regularity returns.
The Ayurvedic view — Vibandha
Vibandha is mainly a disorder of Apana Vata — the downward-moving energy in the colon. Dry, cold and irregular habits aggravate Vata and dry the stool, while weak digestion adds Ama. Treatment lubricates and regulates Vata.

Occasional
Irregular stools during travel, stress or diet change.
Routine and diet correction with mild herbal support like Triphala.
Chronic
Constipation for months; regular laxative use.
Vata-regulating internal medicines, medicated ghee and a structured plan to reduce laxatives.

With piles, fissures, severe bloating or IBS.
Basti (medicated enema) therapy where suitable, plus treatment of the associated condition.
