Homeopathic Remedy For Constipation
Karen had suffered from constipation for the best part of her life. She was told by her mother she had difficulty with this problem even in infancy, but when she was 20 she started to take care of her own health. She somehow thought that it was food-related and went to a nutritionist, who suggested changing her diet. She also went to a naturopath and herbalist, who gave her lots of supplements. Even with these changes, there was still little improvement in her condition. She finally consulted a professional homeopath to find out if there were other ways that she could get cured from her illness.
The interview with her homeopath focused on her particular condition of constipation in depth. She was also asked about her life in general, likes and dislikes and even included the resistances that she had in life. After that session, her homeopath gave her a remedy chosen for her total symptom picture. When she took her remedy, she immediately felt exhausted and slept for several long hours. When she woke up, she felt loads more energy than before, and in the next day or two, noticed that her symptoms also became less bothersome. Over the next few months, she became more regular and found less stress over her condition. She also found herself developing new interests. She even met a new boyfriend, and they plan to go skydiving in the coming year.
Constipation is a very bothersome condition. This disorder is usually diagnosed when one experiences a lower than average bowel movement history (although what may be considered ‘lower’ is relative, some people have a naturally lower pattern and this is not necessarily a constipation problem – other symptoms need to be present.). The symptoms of this condition are usually small, dry, and hard stools that are difficult to pass and/or sluggish, uncomfortable bowel movements. Constipation can cause serious pain and anxiety to the person suffering from this condition, so it is wise to begin treatment when the first signs start to show up.
This condition is technically caused when the colon removes too much water from the waste materials that passes through it. This results in stools that are hard and dry. (There are numerous reasons why this can happen, and yes, improper food intake can be one of them.) This also results in the sufferers having discomfort when expelling the stools. Constipation can even lead to complications such as hemorrhoids and, more serious, fecal impactions.
There are many different cures for constipation that you could choose from over the counter medicines in pharmacies to prescription medications. These pharmaceutical treatments can be effective, but they can also cause side-effects if they are not used properly can become addictive, leading to considerable expense and NOT better health. There are also better alternative treatments that are available. One of the most effective ways to treat constipation and keep it from coming back is homeopathy.
The homeopathic treatment for constipation is usually less expensive and more effective compared to the numerous pharmaceutical treatments. This alternative treatment prescribes for each individual and not solely on the general conditions of constipation that they are experiencing.
These remedies are natural, safe and cost-effective. Most of all, a natural cure using homeopathic remedies brings no toxic side-effects, going to the root of the symptoms being treated, while using natural ingredients.
One example of a homeopathic medicine used to treat constipation is the remedy, Lycopodium. This has been to used to treat the constipation of people who frequently suffer from gas, crave sweet food, and feel more energetic at night. Another is, Nux Vomica, which is often prescribed for hard working, fast living individuals who often express irritation. BUT, there are many other homeopathic treatments available for this condition that might be more suitable to an individual suffering from the symptoms of constipation.
Before you go out and buy homeopathic medicines, you should make sure that you consult a homeopath first. The homeopath takes into consideration the person’s physical condition, as well as the mental and emotional symptoms that also affect the person to find the right natural treatment.
Seeing a homeopath before buying a remedy makes sure that the remedy is perfectly matched to the conditions that the patient is experiencing. The consultation also helps YOU learn more about yourself and strengthens your own understanding of what you need. Depending on the severity of the condition, treatment should last from under a year to a year – somewhat longer if your condition is chronic and severe. Even in these cases, you will see on-going movement towards health from the beginning.
