Constipation

Suffering from constipation is one of the most common ailments in the modern western world, and although normal western medicine does not see it as a serious problem, but rather considers it an inconvenience, naturopath and herbal health practitioners hold an opposite view.

General information on constipation

In natural health and healing, it is held as a major contributory factor for a range of ills and ailments visiting the young and old equally.

If the colon cannot remove wastes properly, the other waste removal organs – be that the lungs, kidneys and skin are over-taxed, and toxins build up within the system, and it is these toxins in the colon, that are believed to be the instigators of so many health problems.

In order to avoid this, the answer is fairly straightforward – make sure that you do not get constipated, and that you have regular bowel movements, to remove waste materials and toxins from your body.

What is constipation? being constipated hardlywig

It is described in the Webster’s New World Dictionary and Thesaurus, as “infrequent and difficult movements of the bowel”.

Side effects and symptoms of constipation

Straining to pass hard stools is a major cause of internal and external hemorrhoids, and can also lead to anal bleeding caused by fissures (small tears) forming around the anus, but apart from this it can have a wide range of other side effects as well.

Preventing constipation being constipated hardlywig

If a diet with enough fiber is followed, together with adequate water intake, moderate exercise and good stress-management, normal healthy individuals should not suffer from this problem.

The diet should include fresh raw fruit and vegetables, wholegrain cereals as well as enough water.

Treatment for constipation

There are many natural dietary ways to prevent getting constipated – and they include items such as prunes, papayas, figs, gooseberries and raisins. Some people have relief when drinking a large amount of freshly squeezed orange juice.

The easiest is to soak 8 to 10 prunes overnight in water, and then to eat the prunes at breakfast.

Different types of laxatives being constipated hardlywig

Taking certain laxatives and purging agents to help bowel movements must be one of the biggest mistaken believes held by people.

Although most laxative will cause a bowel movement, the long-term effect of some laxatives can be very negative and far-reaching.

Laxatives are divided into different categories, which are

Taking all of the above into consideration, it is easy to see why we used a "bulk-forming agent" when we developed a digestive aid, that will not only help your digestion, but will also assist in regular bowel movements.
