Cure chronic constipation through yoga  

Definition:-

Constipation may be defined as the delay in the passage of faces through the intestines

Or delay in their evacuations. In this state the faces are not completely evacuated but

may pass out in small quantities leaving a remainder . This is concerned with the

Large intestine and the rectum.

 

Alternative name:-

Irregularity of bowels; Lack of regular bowel movements

Comman causes:-

Constipation is most often caused by a low-fiber diet, lack of physical activity, not drinking enough water, or delay in going to the bathroom when you have the urge to defecate. Stress and travel can also contribute to constipation or other changes in bowel habits.

Other times, diseases of the bowel (such as irritable bowel syndrome), pregnancy, certain medical conditions (like an underactive thyroid or cystic fibrosis), mental health problems, neurological diseases, or medications may be the reason for your constipation. More serious causes, like colon cancer, are much less common.

Constipation in children often occurs if they hold back bowel movements when they aren’t ready for toilet training or are afraid of it.

 

 Symptoms:-

Constipation affects the large intestine, as waste accumulates there after digestion.

This rotting mass oozes out toxins which are sucked into the blood stream, affecting

The whole bodily system, just as a mounting garbage dump can affect the health of a

Whole community.

Headache, lake of appetite, a coated tongue appendicitis ,  pain in chest,

Weak nerves, rheumatism, even TB, blood pressure, jaundice, early ejeculation, loss of memory, and piles

Are the result. Just as constipation can cause fever, fever too can lead to constipation.

The part called caecum, here the large intestine begins, is most prone to

be affected. And here is where the appendix is situated.  Moreover, the walls of caecum have the power to suck in fluids fast, including all poisons, from the clogged waste, and et them into the blood stream.

  [8] Fasting:-           

  Scientific explanation:-

These poses squeeze and strain the stomach organs, infusing new life into

them and in turn making them secrete their vital digestive juices in the required quantities.

Similarly, the stomach is also stretched, with the intestines and other organs pulled

And pressurized The waste accumulated in the large intestine starts moving and

constipation disappears.
