Bread and Butter Basics of Constipation Addressed with Homeopathy

Allow me to postulate that health is not random. As a homeopathic consultant for over 13 years, I have seen health and the lack of it. I believe that the principles and laws of health are available to anyone interested in observing and then emulating them. There are explicit strategies, thoughts and actions that must be in place in order to achieve anything we do in life. In attaining health, it would be wise to follow the traditions of true healing. Homeopathy offers this.

Let’s consider constipation. I believe it goes without saying, but is worth repeating, that diet ought to be of the finest. Only foods of wholeness should be eaten. That is, as close to the sources as possible. Exercise is also important. But, for anyone who is suffering long term constipation, these suggestions are old hat.

Let’s look at an area many people in the United States are unfamiliar with - the utilization of homeopathy for constipation. In homeopathy, it is important to understand that we don’t focus on the illness, but the person who is suffering from the illness. In choosing the correct remedy, the person’s symptoms must be taken into consideration. In other words, three people might be suffering from constipation, but each might receive a different remedy since they each could present the condition in a different way.

Below are the remedies and their characteristics. Read each one carefully and choose the one that most closely resembles the overall picture. Take the remedy thrice daily for a week, then skip a week and reinstate. Continue this plan if there is improvement but, reduce the number of doses to only twice daily.

The first remedy to consider is Nat mur 6x. This is for constipation in which there is pain and even tearing and bleeding because the rectum is not pliable enough. The stool is dry, sometimes too large and hard and therefore, difficult to pass. There may be accompanying backaches and pain in the lower back.

When the main symptom is the inability to pass the stool that often recedes before showing again, the remedy is usually Silica 6x. This is a remedy of weakly people who have no grit against the world and often are poorly nourished. Their coloring is pale and their demeanor is one of shyness, just like the stool.

Calc phos 6x is the premiere remedy for people who also suffer headache with the constipation, where the stool is hard and often has blood. There can also be depression in this person’s life and vertigo.

When the constipation is chronic with nearly no relief in sight, the remedy is often Kali sulph 6x. The mouth has a funny taste and the tongue can be coated with a yellow, slimy coating.

Homeopathy is natural, rational, and is founded on laws of nature. It is not capricious like its modern medicine counterpart. Homeopathy is medicine for people who want to empower themselves with information that doesn’t have an ulterior motive. Good bread and butter medicine for people who value common sense.
