18.1 Introduction

Constipation is the infrequent and difficult passage of stools. The frequency of bowel movements among healthy people varies greatly, ranging from three movements/day to three times/week. As a rule, if more than 3 days pass without a bowel movement, the intestinal contents may harden, and a person may have difficulty or even pain during elimination. Sometimes stools may harden and be painful to pass even after shorter intervals between bowel movements. Constipation is a common, often frustrating, and difficult to manage problem in the elderly. Approximately 25% of all Americans over 65 years old experience constipation.1 Ayurvedic therapies are very effective treatments for constipation.
