Constipation is one of the very common causes of a stomach ache. It is a condition where it is hard for us to poop. Theoretically, it is our digestive system which faces constipation, where it is difficult for us to excrete our feces (the waste left in our body after we have digested our food). Usually, constipation occurs because our colon which is part of our intestines, has absorbed too much of water from the food that is inside the colon. The dryness of the feces makes it difficult for us to excrete the waste. And, the dryness is caused by more and more absorption of water by the colon- the intestinal part as the food is moving slowly through our digestive tract.
To sum it up, here are a few facts about Constipation:
- Constipation occurs because a lot of water is absorbed by the food we are consuming
- Aging, Physical Inactivity and Certain kind of Medications are a common cause of Constipation
- Constipation can be taken care of by making some changes in your lifestyle
- Laxatives are commonly prescribed for a relief during constipation as they help in softening the feces. However, Laxatives should be your last resort because of the side effects associated with them.

Ayurveda & Constipation
According to Ayurveda, Constipation occurs when the Vata Dosha`s cold and dry qualities disturb the colon and make it difficult for it to function properly. Vatas Dosha is one of the three doshas: the mind-body type we possess. The three Doshas are Vata, Pitta and Kapha.
The Wind is associated with Vata Dosha because of its mobility. Pitta Dosha is associated with the fire for its transformative energy and Kapha Dosha is associated with water.
