Constipation — Digestive & Gut Health care at Dr. Era Ayurveda

Constipation · the Agneya program

Retrain the gut, rather than force it.

Days without a proper motion, and laxatives that work less each month.

Chronic constipation — fewer than three proper motions a week, straining, laxative dependence — is treatable by retraining the gut rather than forcing it. Treatment combines Ayurvedic medicines, fibre and fluid structure, and routine correction, with progress tracked on stool pattern and a symptom score, not just “feeling better.”

What's actually happening

Understand before treating

Infrequent, hard or incomplete motions, often years of gradually increasing laxative doses that work less each month.

The gut can be retrained.

How it’s assessed

History including full medication review (many common medicines cause constipation), thyroid check in the Day-0 panel, and a scored baseline of frequency and form.

How it’s treated

Protocol aimed at restoring the gut’s own rhythm, with laxative use tapered by the doctor as function returns — never cut abruptly. Day-30 and Day-90 tracking.

An honest boundary

When this needs a different doctor

Blood in stool, new constipation after 45, weight loss, or alternating with unexplained diarrhoea — referred first.

The next step

How it's assessed

It starts with the Agneya assessment — a few minutes of structured questions, no lab numbers needed. It doesn't diagnose; it tells you whether a clinical conversation is worth having, and a doctor decides everything after that.

If your answers point to something that needs a different doctor first, the assessment says so and routes you there instead of into a program. See what Agneya does and doesn't treat →
