Hello doctor,I am constipated regularly and have stomach pain occasionally. Sometimes, I take Anuloma half a tablet once a week or one day, and then I feel fine for a few days. I have a good bowel movement when I drink lots of water, but sometimes I am constipated as well. Is it healthy to take Anuloma from time to time?
Hi. There are several causes of constipation and irregular bowel movements like lack of exercises and physical work, sedentary lifestyle, obesity, taking more oily, fried junk foods, consuming alcohol and smoking habits, etc. Sometimes, it is due to neurological issues. Drinking lots of water stimulate bowel movement which facilitates motion. You can take Anuloma (Senna) tablets. It is a good laxative medicine, but along with this, you should change your food habits and lifestyles. Here are some useful tips which help you to improve your concern: You should take some ayurveda medicines too along with your change in lifestyle like Panchasakar Churna (Svarna Patri, Sunthi, Misreya) 3 gm twice a day with warm water after meals, Arogyavardhini Vati (shudha Mercury, shudha Gandhak, shudha Gaggul) one tablet twice a day with warm water after meals, Abhayaristam (Abhaya) 15 ml twice a day with the equal amount of water after meals. Do these things and follow up after fifteen days. For more information consult an ayurveda specialist online -->
