CAUSTICUM
If the constipation is due to partial paralysis of the rectum then this remedy should
be thought of. The patient will complaint of ineffectual urging to pass stool but will
pass only very small bits. The stools are hard, small and covered with mucous that
makes it look shiny like grease. The rectum feels sore and burns. This is only better
by cold water. This is also useful where the large piles are obstructing the passage
of stool.
There might be prolapse of the anus while coughing. All the symptoms are
aggravated by walking.
Causticum 200, 5 pills 4 times a day should be given in order to relieve the
symptoms.
NUX VOMICA
A 30 year old male patient came to my clinic with the complaint of constipation.
While taking the case I found out that his diet consisted of only junk food. He would
not eat any vegetables and only live on very spicy, fast food especially from
outside. For the last few months he was taking laxatives every day in order to
relieve the constipation but now even this was not working.
He described his symptoms by saying that he had a constant urge to pass stool. He
would go to the toilet but pass only little and feel unsatisfied. Because of his
frequent use of laxatives and purgatives he would even suffer from diarrhoea
alternating with constipation. The more he strains at stool the worse it gets.
I prescribed Nux Vomica 200, 5 pills in repeated doses till he was cured.

RATANHIA
This is a very useful remedy in cases of fissures of the anus caused by constipation
or vice versa. The anus feels very sore and constricted. The patient describes the
pain as if the rectum is full of broken glasses. There are sudden spasms with knifelike stabbing pains.
Fissures of the anus is a prominent symptom. Here cracks develop around the anus.
Stools have to be expelled with great effort and the rectal area aches and burns for
hours after stool. Only cold water gives some relief. Ratanhia has also proved to be
a very useful remedy in treating pinworms.
Ratanhia IM, 5 pills 4 times a day will heal the rectal area and fissures.
As I have written earlier different age groups have different common causes for
constipation. In the next article we will deal with the common causes of constipation
in children and old people and how they can be tackled. Constipat

Treatment of Constipation

Alumina 30: Constipation sometimes occurs due to dryness and inactivity

of the intestines. There is no desire to evacuate the bowels till there is a
large accumulation of stools. The stool, even though soft, requires much
straining to be expelled, it adheres to the rectum like clay. The person has
an abnormal craving for indigestible things like chalk, charcoal, etc. and
also an aversion to meat and potatoes.

Bryonia 30: Some symptoms that can confirm the use of Bryonia can be
mentioned as constipation due to extreme dryness of mucous membranes
of the large intestine. There is no desire to pass stools. When they do pass
out, the stools are hard and dry as if burnt. Constipation causes headache
that becomes worse on moving the head. There is extreme thirst for large
quantities of cold water. There is also a dislike for milk and fried foods.

Graphites 30: the important symptoms of using medicine can be

mentioned as constipation due to dryness of mucous membranes. The
stools are very hard, in the form of large lumps, which are joined together
by slimy threads. Drinking hot milk relieves constipation. A dry, cracking
skin and a sad, weeping disposition are some other features of this
remedy.

Nux v 30: Nux v is useful at the time when constipation occurs from
consuming an excess of tea-coffee and leading a sedentary life. There is
frequent, ineffectual desire to pass stools. Only a small amount of stools
are evacuated, the person never feeling satisfied. Sometimes constipation
also occurs alternates with diarrhoea. An oversensitive nature and a
tendency to catch colds are other pointers to this remedy.

Senna 30: The extract or concoction prepared from the leaves of senna
has been used as a purgative since ancient times. Severe constipation
with pain in the abdomen, especially in the liver region is some of the
other symptoms. The stools are often hard and dark. There is flatulence
and loss of appetite. For all these symptoms the medicine named Senna is
very important.

Silicea 30: Obstinate constipation, stools are retained for a long time in
the intestines. They pass out only after great straining. The stools are
partly expelled and then recede back, forcing the person to remove them
mechanically with the fingers. The patient has intolerance for cold
weather. In fact, he wraps himself with warm clothes even in summer.
However, he has a liking for cold drinks and foods like ice cream. These
symptoms affirm the usage of the medicine Silicea.

Homeopathy for Constipation

Almost everyone at one time or another has suffered from occasional
constipation due to a sudden change in diet, pregnancy, travel, or stress.
The most common causes of constipation are functional or organic disorders.

Constipation is difficulty in having a bowel movement. Bowel movements

are infrequent and hard to pass. This may be due to a loss of muscle tone in
the intestine or because of very hard stools. Constipation exists when an
individual does not eliminate fecal matter at least once in twenty-four hours. It
may be due to a lack of fiber in the diet, inadequate fluid intake, abuse of
laxatives, poor bowel habits, or emotional disturbances.
Constipation causes a number of uncomfortable symptoms. Bacteria of
putrefaction multiply and produce poisons that enter the bloodstream and
cause headaches, heartburn, bloating, gas, fatigue, depression, and anxiety.
Straining can bring about rectal problems such as hemorrhoids and fissures.

The most common cause of constipation in children is either a functional

disorder caused by poor bowel habits, or an organic disorder due to celiac
disease or Hirschsprung disease.
Constipation can also alternate with diarrhea. Spastic constipation, also
known as irritable bowel syndrome, or IBS, is an irritation of the intestine
caused by high levels of stress. It is characterized by recurrent abdominal pain
associated with diarrhea and constipation.
Organic constipation is caused by a physical change to an organ. It
may resultfrom scar tissues, inflammatory conditions, tumors, or cancer of the
bowels. There are two significant changes that occur when organic disease is
the cause of constipation: (1) Blood in the stool, and (2) change in bowel
habits and in the character of the stool. Consult with your physician
immediately. Cancer discovered in the early stage is curable.
Homeopathy in Practice
Constipation is a prime contibutor to physical and mental ailments. When
the human system is poisoned by impurities from the waste products of
constipation, the immune system is affected. When the immune system
becomes less effective, it opens the door for illnesses and diseases to occur.

Diet for Constipation

Don't overlook the call of nature.
Cultivate regular habits of elimination.
Avoid iron supplements, they cause constipation.
Eat foods high in fiber such as fruits, vegetables, legumes, whole grains, and
bran.
Practice good food-combining.
In the morning drink a cup of warm water to which the juice of half a lemon is
added.
Take one teaspoon of ground flax seeds with yogurt before bedtime.
Drink a large glass of juice made from fresh fruits.

Apply a castor oil pack on the abdomen to relieve pain.

Make yourself a ginger tea.
Engage in 30 minutes of physical activity.
Drink eight to ten glasses of water, per day.
Colon hydrotherapy is beneficial for constipation.
