AYURVEDA PERSPECTIVE ON STRAINING TO ELIMINATE

Straining could results from hard, dry stools (Vata). Or, inflammation of the intestines (Pitta) and lack of muscle tone in the terminal colon. Excess mucus could prevent elimination of stool (Kapha). Straining could cause prolapse of the rectum and hemorrhoids. Instead, press the acupressure / marma point halfway between the tip of the tail-bone and the anus. This will facilitate removal of stool stuck in the rectum. Ashwini mudra and mula bandha will also help you strengthen the musculature in this reason. Massage the digestive tract. Additionally, massage behind the pubic bone.
