Consider yourself to be constipated. A bowel movement every other day is entirely typical for some people though Ayurveda would still recommend some strategies to increase regularity. Others can tell they are constipated after just one day without having a bowel movement. The context of each individual and his or her experience of the circumstance is considerably more significant than any one-size-fits-all definition of what is healthy or normal, as is the case with most things in Ayurveda.
