Homeopathic Treatment for Constipation

What is Constipation?


No able to clear bowels every morning?. This article will explain what is Constipation? Causes of Constipation? and what is best homeopathic treatment for Constipation.

Constipation refers to less frequent bowel movements (less than 3 times a week) or difficulty in passing stools. It most commonly occurs when stool moves too slowly through the digestive tract or cannot be eliminated effectively from the rectum, which may cause the stool to become hard and dry.

 

How does constipation happen?

 

As food usually moves through the digestive tract, nutrients are being absorbed constantly. The partially digested food that remains moves from the small intestine to the large intestine also called the Colon. Your colon’s main job is to absorb water from the residual food as it’s passing through it, creating a solid matter known as stool (waste). The colon’s muscles eventually push the waste out through the rectum to be eliminated.  

 

Mechanism of Constipation

 

If one experiences constipation, food may process and move too slowly through the digestive tract, giving the colon more time (too much time) to absorb water from the waste. The stool hence becomes dry, hard, and difficult to push out causing Constipation.

 

What is the cause of Constipation?

 

People of all ages can have an occasional bout of constipation once in a while. Almost everyone goes through it at some point. Though occasional constipation is very common, some people experience chronic constipation that sometimes interferes with their ability to go about their daily tasks. 

 

Commonly, it is most often due to an unhealthy lifestyle:

 

  • Changes in diet and irregular routine- For instance, while traveling or sleeping at different times
  • Eating foods low in fiber- Fiber-rich foods help the food move smoothly through the gut
  • Eating large amounts of milk, cheese
  • Dehydration- Not drinking enough water
  • Little or no physical activity- Not exercising enough
  • Stress
  • Resisting the urge to pass stools for long periods

 

Dietary cause of Constipation

 

Certain Medications

 

such as NSAIDs, Antacids, Iron Supplements, Allergy Medicines, Ca Channel Blockers, Beta-Blockers, Anticonvulsant, Psychiatric and Antidepressants

Prevention and natural Treatment fro constipation

Most cases of constipation are mild and easily treated and can be managed by you at home itself. Self-care starts by just making a few modifications in what you eat and drink. If you’re experiencing chronic constipation, you must talk to your doctor.

 

Some recommendations to help relieve constipation include:

  • Hydration:
    Maintain a minimum level of hydration by drinking a minimum of 2 to 4 Litres of H2O. Avoidance of caffeine-containing drinks and alcohol, which can cause dehydration. 
  • Diet:
    People with constipation should eat 18-30 grams of fiber every day. 
    Eat a well-balanced diet with plenty of fiber. Good sources of fiber are fruits, vegetables, legumes, and whole-grain bread and cereals. Most of the fiber in fruits is found in the skins, such as in apples. Fruits with edible seeds like strawberries, also have the most fiber. Bran is a great source of fiber too. Adding all of these to the diet will help the passage of stool from the colon. Limit excessive intake of processed foods and high-fat foods like meat, eggs, and cheese. 
  • Exercise:
    Get moving. Exercise regularly to avoid physical inactivity.
  • Bowel Habits
    Maintain a regular schedule for bowel movements. Do not wait or ignore the urge to pass stools. Do not read, use your phone or other devices while passing stools. Improve the position of how you sit on the toilet. Squatting makes bowel movement easier.
  • Stress
    Try to manage and cope up with stress. Stress is usually the underlying cause of many diseases, including this one.

While the conventional modern medicine system would suggest the use of OTC fiber supplements, stool softeners, and laxatives to alleviate your symptoms. However, some of these drugs can even cause constipation sometimes. Excessive use of laxatives can cause diarrhea as a side effect whereas homeopathic medicines treat constipation in a natural way without any harm to the body. Also, laxatives are not safe for pregnant women, children, and should only be administered under the supervision of a doctor. They may even recommend surgery if constipation is due to a structural cause.

 

Diagnosis

You should consult the homeopathic doctor for the concerned treatment if you have severe pain, blood in your stools, or constipation that lasts longer than three weeks. Also, make an appointment for homeopathic treatment if you are experiencing any unexplained and persistent changes in your bowel habits.
