AYURVEDA PERSPECTIVE ON SOFT STOOL

When stools are soft, you lose vital fluids and electrolytes. When stools are soft, there is often poor absorption of foods. You may feel drained & tired. The longer your stools are soft, the more your ojas will be depleted.

Stools become soft for many reasons, including the following:

• weak digestion (Vata)
• the bowels are irritated by (Pitta)
  • Spicy or irritating foods
  • Allergens
  • Parasites or infection
  • Excessive bile
  • SIBO
• after consumption of laxatives (Vata)

Generally, soft stool are a sign of low digestive fire (agni). Easy to digest, fiber rich foods, mild digestives, anti-inflammatories, and anti-microbials often help. Staying hydrated when stools are soft is essential.

HOW TO ADDRESS ISSUES IN STAGE OF DISEASE #1

SOFT STOOL IS IN STAGE OF DISEASE #1 - AFFECTING DIGESTION

If you have symptoms in this category, your body is sending you a warning sign. Since digestion is so metabolically intensive and sensitive to stress and emotions, the earliest warning signs of imbalance usually appear in the digestive tract first. You may have gas and bloating, for example, or acid reflux. Ayurveda recommends paying careful, close attention to warning signs. They indicate that an imbalance is starting to accumulate. Correct these warning signs before they accumulate further and weaken your body's resistance. This is usually accomplished by removing diet and lifestyle habits that aggravate your imbalanced doshas and biocharacteristics. (See all disease stages on JB)
