CONSTIPATION AND HOMOEOPATHY


Chronic Constipation

- Chronic constipation is not the most glamorous topic, but it certainly is an important one.

- Over 25% of Indians suffer from constipation. 

- Doctors write over a million prescriptions for constipation per year, and roughly 725 million is spent annually on laxatives. 

- Clearly this is a significant topic, even if we don’t want to talk about it much!

- In that vein, I have created a guide called the Constipation Correction that you can peruse and implement in the privacy of your own home. 

- It includes the myriad of reasons for constipation, how to get additional testing if needed, and a nutritional, supplemental and lifestyle approach with a variety of protocols, tailored to your specific needs.

+ So what is constipation, anyway?
- If you ask different providers, they very well may give you different definitions. 

- The classic criteria for constipation (which can vary by person) will include two or more of the following: Fewer than 3 bowel movements per week, hard stool 25% of the time, feeling as if you are not done 25% of the time, sensation of obstruction 25% of the time, having to use manual maneuvers 25% of the time, and hard stool without the use of laxatives.

- People mean many things when they say they have constipation.
The infrequent passing of stools, difficulties in voiding, sense of incomplete voiding are all suggestive of constipation.

-The normal reference range for bowel movements is very varied. Some people have bowel movements three times a day; others, only one or two times a week.

- Medically, constipation is defined as fewer than three bowel movements in a week. Constipation may be considered severe when there is less than one bowel movement in a week.

- Constipation is twice as likely in women as in men, and more common in people over 65.

Causes

- Many factors contribute to the development of constipation. Different people will have a different set of causative factors.
- Insufficient fiber intake in the diet.
- Not chewing the food properly / eating hurriedly.
- Reduced water intake.
- Various medications
- Iron supplements
- Antidepressants, tri-cyclic anti-depressants.
- Anti-convulsants
- Diuretics
- Stopping cigarette smoking.
- Abuse of laxatives.
- Medications containing calcium and aluminum.
- Endocrine disorders like - underactive thyroid.
- Any severe illness like stroke, paralysis.
- Major changes in life like pregnancy, old-age or traveling.
- Psychosomatic causes like depression and anxiety neurosis.
- Biochemical imbalance 'low potassium levels in the blood.
- Lead poisoning.
- Conditions that obstruct the normal passage of the stools within the intestines ' foreign bodies in intestines, strictures, adhesions, tumors, etc.
- Abdominal surgeries.
- Weakened pelvic floor muscles.
- Constipation can occur sometimes as part of a condition called 'irritable bowel syndrome' where it alternates with diarrhea.

Functional issues that can contribute to constipation include:
- undiagnosed food sensitivities;
- dysbiosis - an imbalance between good and not-so-good gut flora;
- small intestine bacteria overgrowth (SIBO);
- leaky gut;
- nutrient insufficiencies, particularly magnesium;
- underactive thyroid;
- imbalance in the enteric nervous system/second brain and hormonal imbalance can play a part.

Tips to Prevent Constipation
Have more fibers in your diet. 25 to 30 grams of daily intake can prevent constipation. Fibers help retain water in the stools thus making them softer and easier to expel.
- Whole grain cereals and bread
- Dried fruits, such as prunes and raisins
- Popcorn, nuts, and seeds
- Beans and legumes
- Raw fruits and vegetables

Drink plenty of fluids, preferably water. 8 glasses a day will help. Have more if you are physically active. Prune (manukka) juice and other fruit drinks are known to normalize bowel motility.

Cut down on soft drinks and alcohols. Dehydration is a major contributor for hard, lumpy & irregular stools. Overuse of colas, alcoholic and caffeinated products can contribute to constipation. They are dehydrating agents.

Check your medicine closet. Identify your routine medications that may contribute to constipation. Let your doctor help you find an alternative.

Don't curb your natural tendencies! Do not ignore your body's natural urge to defecate. Over time, your body will stop having these natural urges and constipation will set in. Train your child to void himself when he has the urge, even if he'd rather play.

Stop the regular use of laxatives and enemas. Their long-term use can aggravate constipation. If you must take laxatives, then try starting with very low doses. Avoid randomly self-medicating oneself.

Exercise, Exercise, Exercise!! Physical inactivity can certainly make bowel movements very sluggish! People tend to cut down on physical activities as they age, for many reasons. Walking is a great way to exercise and prevent constipation.

Homoeopathic treatment for Constipation:

- Homoeopathy offers a promising cure for constipation. Chronic constipation results from various constitutional problems such as stress, genetic predisposing, altered sleep pattern, etc.
- Homoeopathy offers treatment which is based on the patient's individual case pattern. Homeopathy is strongly recommended for all cases of constipation.

- Homoeopathic treatment for constipation is based on the treatment of internal causes leading to the development of constipation. Most cases of constipation may not need medicine but some lifestyle and food changes.
- The homoeopathic medicines for constipation have a distinction over the purgatives by it not being habit-forming. Most of the purgatives are habit forming, doing more harm at the end, on stopping it. Homoeopathic medicines are NOT habit forming, as they are actually not purgatives.

Homoeopathic Remedies for CONSTIPATION:

Nux Vomica
- This is an over-the-counter homeopathic medicine, which is safe to take for a few days, for getting relief from constipation.
- Constipation with ineffectual urging and scanty stool.
- Nux Vomica passes scanty stool, very frequently.
- A sensation as of a weight in the abdomen, with rolling and grumbling, and great heat
- The stool is unsatisfactory and insufficient. Even after passing stool many times a day, there is a never “got done” feeling.
- Abdomen pain may arise along with constipation
- Typically, this medicine is suitable for young executives or businessmen, who are always on the go, living a stressful life, the pressure of deadlines, frequent travelers, irregular sleep habits, use or abuse of alcohol and smokers, and who are highly ambitious.
- They are likely to be lean, thin in physical structure and may be regular at the gym, still not satisfied with bowel movements.

Sulphur
- Serviceable in the beginning of many cases of chronic constipation, especially when accompanied with haemorrhoids.
- Frequently indicated after Nux vom. or to complete a cure, in hypochondriacal or haemorrhoidal subjects.
- According to Hirschell Sulphur acts like Nux vom., in the constipations which are even more obstinate, when, for example, the constipation depends upon the obstruction or swelling of some organ, especially the liver, together with the engorgement of the portal circulation.
- The typical Sulph. patient is worse for heat.
- Loves fat, which may disagree: salt: sweets.
- Feet burn at night: puts them out.
- Starving at 10 or 11 a.m.

Bryonia Alba

Silicea 
- Constipation where stool recedes after being partially expelled
- In some constipation cases, the stool is known to recede after being partially expelled.
- In such cases, Silicea is the most useful Homeopathic medicine for constipation.
- The stool is soft, needs straining to pass out, but recedes back into the rectum after being partially expelled.
