I do not eat so much but have constipation problem. I want to ask that how to pass bowel early in the morning before doing yoga? My age is 17. Can I take isabgol (Psyllium) early in the morning ?

Answer
Eating less or dieting itself can lead to constipation. I suggest eat lot of seasonal fruits, salads and boiled vegetables. This way you will get nutrition and calorie count will also be less.

You can start doing agnisaar pranayama and uddiyana bandh for relief from constipation.

For passing bowels early in the morning try these:

• Wake up thirty minutes before the time you want to do yoga. Drink lime juice with luke warm water and one tea spoon of honey. Take a stroll for five to ten minutes, drink more water to get the natural urge to pass bowels. Do some yoga stretches similar to tadasana and trikonasana.


• Take an early light dinner and go for a small walk or sit in vajrasana for five minutes.


• If required, take 2 teaspoon of isabgol/ Psyllium husk or Trifala Churna (An ayurvedic remedy) with warm milk or water.


• If you are not able to pass bowels in the morning, it is not a problem as long as you pass it once every 24 hours. For example, if somebody passes bowels daily in the evening, he or she can do yoga in the morning without passing bowels.


With yoga practice and proper diet constipation can be cured.
