Yes, constipation can be related to age. With advancing age, metabolism slows down, and reduced physical activity decreases intestinal motility, leading to constipation.
•Take 1 tsp of triphala powder at bedtime with warm water. It’s safe and effective for regular bowel movements.
•Isabgol (Psyllium Husk):Helps soften the stool.
For severe constipation, castor oil (Erand Taila) can also be taken with milk at bedtime.
Next Steps
1. Monitor symptoms after implementing these remedies and dietary changes for 1-2 weeks.
2. Increase physical activity like walking or light yoga for better bowel movements.
3. Stay hydrated by drinking 8–10 glasses of water daily.
Health Tips
Avoid overuse of laxatives as it can make the intestines dependent.
