Natural Treatment Of Constipation – Address The Cause Of Constipation
The natural treatment of constipation is likely to ensure that the reason for it in the first place is dealt with. This is so much more beneficial to your overall health, than taking something which simply loosens your bowels. Effective though this can be in the short run, it does nothing to deal with the cause.
So you have to keep taking it. And over time, what used to work may become less effective.
Some people suffer constipation because they don’t eat enough fresh fruit and vegetable. So, if your diet is short in this department, then even the best treatment for constipation may not help on a deep level.
Some people suffer because they don’t drink enough water. Soft drinks are not a substitute for water as they are high in sugar or artificial sugar, both of which will contribute to compounding your problem.
Some people suffer because the gut flora has been killed off by antibiotics. Gut flora is essential to a healthy bowel. The best cure for this is to take some probiotics and find effective alternatives to antibiotics, such as homeopathic treatment.
The sludge that exists in many people bowels leads to chronic ill health, not just constipation. Although this can be removed by a colon cleanse, that is quite invasive, not to mention expensive. And it will only build up again, if you don’t rectify the cause – normally an inadequate diet.
A diet high in meat, dairy and processed food is missing the essential fiber needed for good bowel function. So a sludge builds up, which lines the bowels, slowing down peristalsis – the rhythmic pulsing of the bowel which allows for regular elimination.
In addition, the sludge prevents what little nutrients you have from being absorbed. The start of the slippery slope.
So diet and constipation are normally inextricably linked. The natural treatment of constipation can be that simple.
However, sometimes people suffer constipation as an interruption in routine, such as when on holiday or away from home. The time difference, being a guest in a house without enough toilets to go around, or simply being in a different place can all tend to create tension and so difficult bowel movements. This can be compounded by the lack of privacy.
The homeopathic medicine Nux vomica is a great medicine for constipation that is a result from interrupted routine as well as an inadequate diet.
Only small amounts are passed at any one time, so you need to keep returning to the bathroom. This is annoying to say the least, and inconvenient at worst. You may have constant, but ineffectual urges. Or it may be hard and painful, so much so that you dread having to go at all.
