How to Use Natural Remedies For Constipation
There
are two basic types of constipation - organic and functional.
Organic constipation is a result of some physical change,
obstruction, or distortion in your colon. This type
of constipation needs immediate attention from a doctor.
This article only covers Functional Constipation. This
type of constipation is a result of not following a
proper diet, drinking enough fluids, having good emotional
health and not having a good lifestyle - a lifestyle
that promotes good movement of digested foods through
the intestines and colon.
Even though there are many definitions for constipation,
constipation is simply a condition where the fecal matter
traveling through your colon remains too long in your
colon before traveling out the rectum.
Constipation
is a symptom and not a disease. It is a condition that
tells you your colon is not working properly or that
you have some underlying gastrointestinal disease you
are not aware of.
Constipation
may be a warning that your diet and lifestyle are causing
an imbalance in your body. It is a symptom that many
people ignore or that many people try to eliminate by
using unnatural and oftentimes dangerous drugstore laxatives.
Drugstore
laxatives should be avoided when you have constipation.
They can become habit-forming, damage your colon, and
have nasty side effects if used too long. They sometimes
have the tendency of creating the problem you are trying
relieve - constipation.
To
keep your body in chemical balance, it is important
to use only natural remedies for constipation. Natural
remedies such as herbs and foods bring into the colon
those nutrients that can build up your colon and reactivate
your natural peristaltic action.
As
you use natural remedies, keep in mind that one particular
remedy may not work for you. You may have to try a different
remedy or increase dosage of the one you are using.
If you supply what your body needs by using a specific
remedy, then you will get results from using that remedy.
Experimenting
is part of finding out what remedy is best for you.
There are many different natural remedies you can choose
from. Look on the internet for "natural remedies
for constipation" and you will find many listings.
Keep
in mind that most remedies should be used only for a
short time, two to four days and not longer than 2 weeks.
They should only be used for the time needed to clear
your constipation. This might be just 4 or 5 times or
sometimes it may take several weeks.
There
are some herbal combinations that can be used for longer
duration. These combinations can improve your colon's
health and get your bowels moving again.
If
you have constipation, the natural balance and function
of your colon has been affected. But, natural remedies
can bring you colon back into balance.
