good information for humanity
often Triphala is given for constipation but if the person has high VATA, it can aggravate the problem as experienced by B.V.Ramana Murthyby in the comment above – this is because it is ‘scrubbing’ the colon and/or small intestine too efficiently – some even experience pain just above the right hip. It can also CAUSE bloating and even more gas rather than cure it,so in this case oil is better, because the problem is coming from dryness rather than Pitta or Agni. Try a teaspoon of castor oil at night before bed and/or on waking. We find at our therapy center it helps to add black sesame seed oil to food, as well as, to eat at least a teaspoon of the seeds daily until the problem passes. also make a flask/bottle of thumb measure of raw ginger in 500ml of hot water (no lemon because its effect is drying), with 5 cardamom pods have this on waking and then and sip throughout the day. Practice ABHYANGA or self massage at least 3 times per week, since we can’t be sure of your constitution, use a neutral oil like grape seed and if you are not a person who generally is worse for heat, add a teaspoon of sesame oil, always leave the oil on your skin for around 20 minutes and then wash off using only water. Eliminate all dry food, including dry fruits and rice etc. Try to have only soups as the last meal, don’t eat a lot of raw vegetables or fruit – rather cook a little. Hope this helps Aum Namah Sivaya 🙂 In Her Service
Namaskar

Wonderful article on Yoga, Pranayam and Natural remedy. This is really beneficial, if someone follows it regularly.
Very useful informatoin . thank u .
I wake up at 5 in the morning, do some yogic exercises and pranayama for 45 mins. and drink a silver tumbler full boiled warm water. Afterwards I drink a cup of hot coffee with two pieces of rusk. I do not have constipation. Then I go for morning walk of about 4 km. After this my other routine starts. In the night I go to sleep at 10*clock. I like lot of vegetables and fruits. I take fruits before lunch or dinner. With this life style, I am having normal health.
Very useful tips, in fact I have benefited a lot by regular practice of Yoga & Pranayama. I used to to suffer from constipation earlier, but I don’t suffer from it any longer.
I have been going through all your articles for the past 3-4 years and I find all of the topics covered by you are very much informative and usefull. I thank all your organisation staff for their dedicated services towards humanitarian.

Excellent Health tips for digestion by the India Divine and Remedy spot .com
I do agree with BV Ramana Murthy garu, after consuming the Triphala Churnam, I do face acidic / bloating type.
To avoid constipation, I have started consuming sprouted Fenugreek seeds, two to three times a day, one or two spoonfuls, got relief,I also drink lemon + Honey water everyday morning.
Kind regards
what is kunjal?
Very useful advice
I want yoga n tips for weight loss.
Excellent Advise…Useful for all..And its a Universal Acceptance of Yogic,Vedic Cilture
I am a regular avid reader of all your articles and I also take interest on reading the comments posted in your article. I would caution people against self medication as each one of our constitution differs . There no general “RULE OF THE THUMB” in these aspects and what does wonders for one need not necessarily work for another. So ultimately it becomes a “TRIAL & SEE” program . It is best to consult a reputed ayurvedic doctor to avoid any pitfalls ,
I am a yoga practioner for the past 15 years and am 69 yrs old and I have implicit faith that diet control and yoga will enhance the health and longivity and I read your articles which are very beneficial for the health conscious readers.
Thank you. Articles published very useful. Please tell us how to reduce stomach fat.
Namaskaar,
Thank you for a wonderful forum! Greatly appreciated!
I have severe joint pain and have to resort to a type of aspirin that gives me relief for approx 3 – 4 days. This sometimes leads to severe headaches. Do you have any recommendations?
Thank you!
