Optimal Elimination with Ayurveda

Updated: Oct 4

Experiencing constipation, gas, pain, bloat, a sense of incomplete elimination, anxiety, or overwhelm? If you're indifferent now, you won't be after reading this. 🧻 Discover everything you need to know about constipation and healthy elimination through Ayurveda, along with valuable tips for optimal elimination. According to a recent survey, "digestive issues disrupt forty percent of Americans' daily routines."

Facts About Digestive Issues


If you experience digestive issues, you're not alone. According to Ayurveda, balanced, healthy digestion is foundational to good overall health and wellbeing.


A new survey finds "forty percent of Americans’ daily lives are disrupted by digestive troubles." That translates to 60-70 million Americans are suffering from gastrointestinal (GI) diseases that can create serious disruptions to daily life, says the American Gastroenterological Association.


And if that hasn't gotten our attention, Medical News Today reports, "...laxative use can influence gut microbiota composition and induce long-term changes in the immune response. Research also shows that these changes may increase the production of toxins linked to inflammation, neural damage, and amyloid deposition- a biomarker for dementia."

There is a better and natural way! Ayurveda.


Let's just say it--a good poop feels great and not pooping feels like crap. According to Ayurveda, the color, texture, frequency, and smell of your poop are indicators of your overall health. If your bowel movement is discolored, watery, or too hard this indicates internal issues located in your digestive tract and likely beyond.


When you understand how to analyze your poo, you can proactively address health issues— as opposed to waiting until your symptoms become conditions and diseases.

The Painful Truth About Constipation


A staggering number of people around the world suffer from constipation. According to John Hopkins Medicine, "About 4 million people in the United States have frequent constipation. Constipation is the most common gastrointestinal complaint, resulting in 2.5 million doctor visits annually."


Besides the fact that digestive disorders are extremely uncomfortable, embarrassing, and inconvenient, they are a warning sign that the doshas are aggravated and bigger issues may be arising from within.


Your colon, part of the large intestine, is responsible for processing 1.5 to 2 gallons of water a day, alongside breaking down waste left over from digestion. It also eliminates harmful toxins that your body doesn’t need to keep you healthy.


Unfortunately, many people ignore their colon — and the health insights it has to offer — as such, they suffer unnecessarily from conditions that may be solved by taking a few proactive steps and consulting with an experienced Certified Ayurvedic Practitioner.


What is healthy elimination according to Ayurveda?


It is not uncommon for clients to tell me that their bowels move once or twice a week and their doctor advises them this is normal. According to Ayurveda, it is not normal, nor is it healthy. Think about it this way--if you eat three meals a day, and elimination occurs once a week, how much waste is sitting in your digestive tract and for how many days?


"We take the trash out every day. We want to do the same with the waste in our bodies and minds. Don't hang onto to poo--be it physical or mental. Let it go!" - Veena, Saumya Ayurveda

How Frequently Should the Bowels Move?

"In most cases, the frequency of bowel movements depends on the individual and their dosha. While some individuals may consider having a bowel movement every other day as normal, Ayurveda emphasizes the importance of aiming for daily bowel movements as a fundamental aspect of treatment."

-Veena, Saumya Ayurveda


For others, perhaps a Pitta type, only one bowel movement a day is constipation. (Meanwhile the Vata type is envious of a once-a-day movement.) No pun intended, but frequency and related details of bowel movement, is not a one size fits all situation.

What Is Constipation According to Ayurveda?

Common Symptoms of Constipation Include: 1. Difficulty passing the stool. If you have to think about if it's difficult, then it is!

2. Absence or delay of regular bowel movement.

3. Experiencing the sensation of incomplete evacuation, as though matter is still hiding in the digestive tract.

4. Feeling stuffed, blocked, incomplete, or full 5. Stools may be dry, hard, and pellet-like, though those qualities may not be present, yet constipation is.

6. Gas

7. Bloat

8. Discomfort or pain

What Causes Constipation According to Ayurveda?

In a word, Vata. According to Ayurveda, constipation is a Vata disorder as Vata governs movement as well as elimination. (Oh yeah, and the nervous system.) All the usual influences that aggravate Vata such as dehydration, irregular eating schedule, stress, anxiety, travel, overdoing it, and dry, raw foods will aggravate constipation. Now, the connection between the gut and the mind is evident.

The colon has a strong muscle response called peristalsis, a wave like constriction that moves matter forward and out. If the colon muscle is slow, sluggish, or if the colon is dry (yup, dry skin outside likely means drier skin on the inside), then the bolus (fecal matter) moves ever so slowly causing too much water to be absorbed creating a dry, slow moving and often difficult to pass stool.

Vata's qualities include cold, dry, and irregular. Constipation occurs when those qualities are aggravated in the colon, disrupting its normal function.

Other common causes of constipation include medications, lack of exercise, insufficient liquids, lack of dietary fiber, IBS, suppressing the natural urge to evacuate, changes (lifestyle, state of life, habits), use of laxatives, and depending on a cup or two of coffee to produce a morning poo.

Most clients think they are not constipated because after they have their big mug of coffee in the morning, they have a bowel movement. Do an experiment, don't have that cup of coffee and then see what happens, or doesn't happen.

"Coffee dependent bowel movement, is not optimal elimination. In fact, the coffee is drying to the digestive tract, furthering aggravating constipation, slow transit, and creating an environment of overall dryness in the whole body and even mind." - Veena, Saumya Ayurveda

According to NIH, "...drinking coffee can stimulate a motor response of the distal colon..." Coffee stimulates peristalsis, (that wave movement that move matter down and out), so if your morning bowel movement doesn't happen until you've had coffee, then your gut is dependent on a coffee. Healthy bowel movements are produced naturally.


To balance Vata dosha, the qualities of warmth, oil, moisture, and rhythm are needed. With Saumya Ayurveda's custom Ayurveda plans, this will be in the form of food as medicine, herbs, teas, spices, herbalized massage oils, and subtle body practices such as yog-asana and pranayama.

5 Ayurvedic Remedies for Constipation Relief


  1. Drink plenty of warm herbal tea every day. Hot or warm fluids are best as that quality mitigates Vata's cold quality.

  2. Drink your hot tea away from your meals. Avoid taking fluids when you eat as it weakens the digestive fire.

  3. Increase high quality oils in the diet. Oils should be based on doshic picture. Oils lubricate the dry tissue of the colon--just as oils are applied to one's skin. Cooking with sesame, ghee and olive oil are generally good choices. Having a custom Ayurveda food program is even better.

  4. Eat fruit as it is hydrating, fiber rich and moist fruits are Vata reducing.

  5. Drink warmed up prune juice.

Which herbs are best for each person depends. Triphala, psyllium husk, and flaxseed are generally suitable for most.


Please note: Saumya Ayurveda does not recommend using herbs as if they were over the counter or prescribed pharmaceuticals. An experienced Certified Ayurvedic Practitioner will create you a custom herbal formula, special nasya, and customized Ayurveda plan to support the whole you.


Herbs are not Ayurvedic because it comes from India. Nor it is correct for you because it is organic. Herbs become Ayurvedic when used as part of your customized Ayurveda plan which is carefully tailored for your constitution. An herb that is balancing to one person for a concern, may be imbalancing to another.


3. Yog-asana and Ayurveda Lifestyle Tools


Imbalanced Vata disrupts apana vayu which governs downward energy such as elimination, urination, and birthing. When Vata is out of whack, apana reverses and flows upward. This energetic reversal is how constipation and anxiety tend occur together. So, when the energy is flowing up, in the wrong direction for the job at hand, ground and reestablish flow. Consider legs up on the wall (viparita karani). Relaxing, restorative, grounding, and balancing. It's also a helpful yog-asana after work.


I Don't Give a Poop! | What Constipation Says About Your Health According to Ayurveda image woman doing legs on wall yoga pose to help calm vata

How to Perform Legs Up on the Wall | Viparita Karani

Sit on the floor near a wall. Use a yoga mat or blanket on the floor if needed. Swivel your body to face the wall and raise your legs slowly with awareness. How close with your butt be to the wall depends on your flexibility. There is no award for being closer, so go within your comfortable capacity. Now, lie down on the floor. Use any support you need for your back so that you are comfortable. Settle into the pose surrendering the body to the support of the floor. Place your arms with the elbows slightly bent and allow your chest and heart region to open. Close your eyes. Hang out here as long as you are comfortable.


4. Healthy Elimination Begins in the Mind

Vata governs movement, whether that is the bowel movement or movement in the mind. When Vata becomes imbalanced, it tends to be felt in the colon, the nervous system and the mind. Soothe Vata with simple and effective practices.


"The most important cleansing we can do, is to have healthy daily elimination and to cultivate a calm mind. Saumya clients love our free guided practices." - Veena, Saumya Ayurveda


Perform your yog-asana, follow our guided practices, then perform nadi shodhana and now, you're prepared for meditation.



Try Saumya Nasya Oil for Improved Mental Wellbeing


Nasya oil benefits the flow of prana by clearing and nourishing the nasal passages. This doesn’t just help us breathe better – it helps us feel better, too. When prana is cleared through the breath, you’ll feel stress and tension melt away in your neck, jaw, head, and shoulders. Any energy that has been blocked will be released, and won’t be able to stagnate in these areas.


Stress and anxiety contribute to fading health and many unnecessary afflictions. Unfortunately, they’re far too common. Anxiety disorders are the most common mental health condition in the United States, and we all experience psychological and emotional stress to varying degrees. Nasya oil can help balance these energies, so you feel composed and revitalized all day long.


“Oh, golly way, way improved. Stress fell off like an old hairy coat, I’m just not anxious. Depression is way decreased. There just nothing there. I was haunted by anxiety whole life, and it’s just gone.”

--Mark Hughes, Minnesota

Give it a try for forty days and observe the changes. The more grounded and relaxed we are, the smoother life flows.


"The breath is the connection between the mind and body, so by training the breath, we become calm, focused, and grounded, we slow down the aging process by decreasing stress. These practices are so simple and easy to have as part of our daily life. We actually feel and look younger."

- Veena, Saumya Ayurveda


1. Learn Diaphragmatic Breathing and Change Your Life. When we re-learn to breath diaphragmatically, we move from the flight-fight-freeze mode, to rest, restore, relaxation mode from where we want and need to live.


2. Daily Guided Practices: 11 minutes in the morning and in the evening, as anchors of your daily Ayurveda routine. Try the two-minute meditation technique throughout the day.



"Thanks to Veena's assistance, I was able to restore my energy levels within a short span of a few months. I now feel rejuvenated and as lively as I did in my younger days! The personalized food plan she created for me is fantastic, and I find the additional practices like morning and evening routines, breathing exercises, as well as the use of herbs and spice blends, to be delightful additions to my daily routine. I wholeheartedly endorse Saumya Ayurveda for anyone seeking to improve their well-being and enhance their vitality."

What is a Perfect Poo?


Keep in mind, that depending on whether Vata, Pitta or Kapha is your predominant dosha, what is a "regular" bowel movement varies. Vata, Pitta and Kapha dosha poo each have their own qualities. More scoop on the dosha poop later in this article.


A perfect poo may have these qualities:
  • Complete elimination in the morning, about an hour within waking,

and NOT produced after drinking coffee or other stimulants.

  • Brown color

  • Banana shape

  • No mess when wiping

  • No bowel evidence left in the toilet bowl

  • Fairly odorless

  • Looks more or less the same regardless of what has been consumed


The Color of Your Poo and What it Means

Relieve Constipation with Ayurveda image Ayurvedic Poo Analysis Chart

You’ve probably gone to the bathroom before and noticed an abnormal fecal coloring. While slight variations from time to time are generally harmless, if you notice your poop is discolored for more than a few days, make sure you consult a professional.

Here are the different poop colors and a few ideas of what it may mean according to Ayurveda:

Brown

Any shade of brown is what you’re aiming for — this combined with the texture of your poop will indicate how healthy your digestive tract and body are.


Yellow

If your poop is yellow or yellow-brown this indicates you have too much fat in your intestines due to malabsorption, an intestinal condition or disease, high Pitta, or improper nutrition.

Red

Red poop means something you ate either had red food coloring in it, you have hemorrhoids, or perhaps bleeding in your digestive system.


Pale, White or Clay-colored

This is an indicator that your bile ducts may be blocked or congestion in the liver/gallbladder. As such, it’s important to address any underlying causes immediately.


Black

Certain foods (such as licorice), medications, and supplements can cause black poop. However, if your poop is black for more than a few days consult a professional as this could be an indicator of bleeding in your digestive tract. Black stool may be a sign of old blood from a stomach or upper small intestine irritation. See a doctor straight away.


Very Green

If your poo comes out looking like a bright shade of green, this either means you have diarrhea (and it’s green because it’s coming out of your body too fast and has not fermented properly) or you ate a lot of greens or consumed green food dye.


Pale, Clay-Colored Stools

Palish, clay-colored stools may be caused by a lack of bile making its way from the liver, to the gallbladder to the intestine. Bile is what colors the stool. A pale, clay stool means no bile.


Greasy, Slippery Looking Stool

You know it when you see it. As with clay-colored stools, greasy stool is usually a result of low bile flow from the liver and then the holding tank of bile, the gallbladder. Remember bile is what colors the stool. It's a greenish-yellow fluid that has many functions including emulsifying fats and carrying away waste. If the fats are not broken down, the undigested fat slimes up the stool.

Blood in the Stool

Spots of blood on the toilet tissues or elsewhere, or streaks of blood observed in the stool, if persisting, is a good reason to see your doctor. Most commonly, fresh blood in the stool is caused by hemorrhoids, and there may be other causes.


Mucus in Stool

New clients report seeing something that looks like mucus in their stool. They describe it as clear or whitish and stringy and clingy, wrapped around the stool. It's possible the villi of the intestinal wall are smashed down by the weight and thickness of mucous. If mucousy stool persists, one should see their doctor.

Mucus in the stool is caused by an imbalance of the intestinal wall. This could be a medical condition, so if it persists, see your doctor. If you see mucus in the stool—which typically looks like a white or clear stringy substance that wraps around the stool—the intestinal villi are likely flattened or bogged down by mucus. Some causes may include, coffee, processed foods, stress which we all know by know, we feel it i n our guts, and weak digestion that allows undigested food bits to pass through and irritate the GI lining.

Undigested Food in the Stool


New clients frequently report seeing undigested food in their bowel movement. Here's the chain of digestion. Assuming one is eating food that is correct for them, spiced correctly, a key stage in the complicated digestive process begins in the mind. That's right. Eat when upset and digestion is negatively impacted, and we feel it! Eat with a calm, grounded mind, using diaphragmatic breathing, and you'll enjoy your food, appreciated it and you will digested your meal well.


What comes next? If undigested food bits are evident in the stool, this poor state of digestion starts in the stomach. If the fire is not balanced, not optimal, food will not break down.


The most common reason for undigested food to be passed through the entire intestinal tract into the stool starts in the stomach. The stomach is responsible for the initial breakdown of food. If stomach acid production is weak, hard-to-digest foods will not be broken down.


Alternating Constipation and Diarrhea


Are you scratching your head, ready to pull out your hair and wondering what in the world is going on in there? One day loose stool, the next week it might be constipation, or you may experience both in the same week. I frequently hear from clients this experience is maddening and understandably so.

Striving to make connections between what they're eating and what's happening with this unpredictable elimination and not being able to make heads nor tails of it. It is a puzzling and frustrating situation, and it requires attention without delay.


How to Conduct a Poo Analysis with Ayurveda


As opposed to a one-size-fits-all approach, Ayurveda recommends using your unique constitution — otherwise known as your doshic picture of Vata, Pitta and Kapha — to understand what a healthy poop is for you.


Vata Dosha Poop Analysis


Vata dosha body types are governed by air, which means they are more likely to experience dry, sluggish bowel movements, constipation, and bloating.


A healthy Vata stool will be passed without gas, have a firm texture (but not too hard), be dark brown in color, have minimal odor, and be eliminated through your digestive system once a day, typically in the morning within 2-3 hours of waking.


When the Vata is imbalanced, the stool will be dry and/or hard, may look like rabbit droppings (as in small, thin pellets), occur irregularly, cause gas before and during elimination, be darker (almost black) in color, and smell foul. Vata may feel as though bowel movement is not complete.

What's My Tongue Saying About My Digestive Health?


Your tongue is a powerful and primary diagnostic tool in determining your state of health, just as a daily peek at the poo is. According to Ayurveda, when digestion is working well, it influences all aspects of one's health. When digestion is not functioning optimally--we feel it and not just in the digestive tract.

You may not think about it, but your tongue is located at the beginning of the digestive tract. Tongue diagnosis is a non-invasive diagnostic tool that can see far beyond the mouth into the 30 feet of digestive tract. At Saumya Ayurveda, we provide you with a professional assessment of the health of your digestive tract, as well as overall health through the organ map on the tongue.
