USE LAXATIVES FREQUENTLY

AYURVEDA PERSPECTIVE ON USE LAXATIVES FREQUENTLY

To promote regular bowel movements and limit the use of laxatives, following a diet containing easy to digest grains, fruits, and vegetables is key. Sipping hot water can help encourage bowel motility, as can eating prunes, raisins and grapes which are mild, natural laxatives.

Triphala is a safe, gentle laxative that will help promote daily bowel movements without causing dependency. It also helps re-establish good tone to the intestines after chronic constipation and laxative use. Triphala is most appropriate for Kapha types, while haritaki is more suitable for Vatas.

AVOID ACCUMULATION IN STAGE OF DISEASE 0

Potential causes increase and disturb your imbalanced doshas and biocharacteristics, causing them to accumulate and spiral out of control. For example, if you're overheated and eat a chili pepper, heat may become excessive and cause disease. As a dosha or biocharacteristic accumulates in your body according to your dietary and lifestyle habits, it is more and more likely to cause disease. You can reduce an imbalanced dosha or biocharacteristic in two ways, by removing, or lessening the frequency of aggravating causes from your diet and lifestyle, as well as by favoring balancing diet and lifestyle practices. For example, try eating something as cool as a cucumber when you're overheated, instead of a chili pepper. (See all disease stages on JB)

Imbalance Accumulates

Improper food and lifestyle causes balances to accumulate. Ayurveda shows you exactly which doshas and biocharacteristics are likely to accumulate in your body. Once these doshas and biocharacteristics accumulate too much, they will begin to cause imbalance. You can reduce an imbalanced dosha or biocharacteristic by removing things that aggravate it from your diet and lifestyle.
