One of the commonest gastro-intestinal complaints, constipation affects almost 2% of the population on a chronic basis globally. A large number of people wrongly believe themselves to be suffering from constipation if they do not get a bowel movement everyday. The medical understanding of the disorder 'constipation' is, however, slightly different from this. Having less than three bowel movements a week is termed as constipation. In addition, having hard stools or requiring to strain at stools for a long time also constitutes constipation.
An outcome of errant eating habits and sedentary lifestyle in most cases, constipation is a very common complaint and tends to be under-diagnosed since most patients usually prefer to try a lot of home remedies rather than reporting for treatment. |

The belief that constipation leads to accumulation of toxins in blood also results in significant abuse of laxatives and purgatives by patients.
Homeopaths have treated constipation with good results for many years now and the response to treatment is very promising in Homeopathy. The goodness of homeopathy also lies in the fact that the medicines are safe and non habit-forming unlike conventional laxatives which create a dependence in patients. we have treated a large number of cases of habitual constipation and have helped many patients to get rid of their dependence on purgatives and laxatives. We firmly believe that timely Homeopathy treatment can provide the best solution to chronic constipation and solve this problem from the roots. |
