TEMPERING LIGHT BROWN STOOL / CARDBOARD COLORED (from Ayurveda, Greek & Chinese Medicine)

Yellow or green stool indicates quick transit time through the bowels. A light brown stool (the color of cardboard or lighter) may be lacking sufficient bile, a sign of Vata type dryness in the liver. This is especially true if the light colored stool is also small and hard.

Bile is responsible for giving poop a cinnamon brown color. When bile output is low, the stool color fades, turning a cardboard color. If bile output is very low, your stool may also be oily, shiny and float because it's full of undigested fat.

As bile is a digestive irritant and laxative, insufficient bile can cause constipation, frequently seen in Kapha types.

Eating more leafy greens, sours, and staying hydrated can help increase the amount of bile. Ayurveda offers many diet and herbs options for healthy bile production.

HOW TO ADDRESS ISSUES IN STAGE OF DISEASE #2

LIGHT BROWN STOOL / CARDBOARD COLORED IS IN STAGE OF DISEASE #2 - AFFECTING BLOOD & EMOTIONS

Affecting Blood: Initially, imbalances are localized, often in the digestive tract. As an imbalance grows, it starts to affect your body systemically, via the blood. If you have symptoms in this category it means that your imbalances are starting to spread, have entered the bloodstream, and are now systemic. Pay particular attention to the biocharacteristics, tastes, and doshas out of balance systemically, so you know how to strengthen your body as a whole, and reduce physical stress on your organs. At this stage of imbalance you will begin to experience generalized discomfort, imbalanced emotions, and may develop sensitivities to temperature. It may take several weeks of strict adherence to a specific remedial diet to clear blood level imbalances. Blood cleansing herbs may reduce symptoms. A several day cleanse may shorten the recovery time. (See all disease stages on JB)
