Travel Constipation Remedy
People often have problems of bloating and constipation during and after traveling. Sitting for hours during travel sometimes damages the digestive system, which can cause constipation. Let us tell you, this digestive condition occurs when you have not had a bowel movement for a few days. Also, this problem can occur due to not having a bowel movement during traveling. Actually, many people complain of constipation during travel due to not getting food and water at the right time, not getting enough sleep and changing places. This condition is called travel constipation in medical language. In such a situation, instead of taking medicine, try these home remedies. Ayurvedic doctor Diksha is telling some effective tips to get rid of traveling constipation.
Follow these tips:
Stay hydrated: Drink lots of water to avoid constipation while traveling. If you are traveling to a cold place, drink at least 5 glasses of water. If you are traveling to a hot place, drink 7-8 glasses of water.
Walk: Practice exercise, yoga and pranayama for at least 30 minutes every morning. If possible, walk 5000 steps a day.
Drink warm water (green tea): Drinking a glass of warm water in the morning and at night before going to bed helps in easy bowel movement. So start your morning with green tea instead of bread or fried foods.
Eat healthy food: Eat fruits like banana, papaya and local fruits. Have light breakfast. Make sure you don’t eat maida in breakfast. Have heavy meals in lunch like roti, paratha, curry, salad and buttermilk. Eat very light and early dinner. Salad or soup is best for dinner.
Carry digestive tablets: Pudina Vati, Amla Candy, Hajmola and Hing Vati are the best Ayurvedic digestives. Suck them whenever you feel bloated or heavy in the stomach. Take 1 tsp of ghee with warm water in the morning or at night. It works great. If you still feel constipated or bloated, carry Triphala churna or tablet (for mild constipation) and Haritaki/Harad tablet or powder (for severe constipation) with you.
