Constipation - 100% Effective Natural Remedies for Constipation Treatment

Constipation is the most common digestive complaint and it means difficulty in passing of stool. Constipation is also defined as having a bowel movement fewer than three times per week. Stools are usually hard, dry, small in size and difficult to eliminate. Constipation is more common among the elder people and women experience this problem more than men. However, it can occur at all ages, including infants and young adults. The most common cause for constipation is a diet poor in fiber and low intake of fluids. Other causes may include pregnancy, drugs, lack of exercises, emotional stress and some diseases such as colonic inertia and pelvic floor dysfunction. The habit of ignoring the urge to pass stool can also result in constipation. 

Constipation usually occurs when the colon absorbs excess of water and also if the muscular contractions in the colon are slow, causing the stool to move through the colon very slowly. As a result, the stools can become hard, dry and difficult to pass. The affected person has the urge to pass stool, but he or she is unable to do so. This may cause discomfort and a bloated feeling in the stomach; accompanied by stomach pain, headache, lethargy and vomiting.

According to research reports, increased fluid intake does not necessarily help relieve constipation. However, liquids add fluid to the colon and bulk to stools, making bowel movements softer and easier to pass. It is better, if people suffering from constipation should drink plenty of liquids and water daily. Certain liquids that contain caffeine, such as coffee and cold drinks may worsen the symptoms as they cause dehydration. Alcohol is another beverage that causes dehydration and causes constipation.

Some medications can also cause constipation which includes narcotic pain medications, antacids, blood pressure medications, antiparkinson drugs, antispasmodics, antidepressants, iron supplements, diuretics and anticonvulsants. The doctor generally asks the patients to describe symptoms of constipation including duration, frequency of bowel movements, consistency of stools, presence of blood in the stool and toilet habits. A record of food habits, medication and level of physical activity will help the doctor determine the cause of constipation and the treatment depends on the cause, severity and duration of the constipation.

A diet with enough fiber helps the body form soft and bulky stool. A doctor can help plan an appropriate diet. High-fiber foods include beans, fresh fruits, vegetables, cabbage, carrots etc. Foods like ice cream, cheese, meat and processed foods should be avoided as these mostly lead to constipation. Other changes that may help treat and prevent constipation include drinking enough water and other liquids. The urge to have a bowel movement should not be ignored and most people who are mildly constipated do not need laxatives.

It has been observed that constipation can lead to severe complications, if not properly treated. These complications may include hemorrhoids, anal fissures and tears in the skin around the anus when hard stool stretches the sphincter muscle. On account of this, rectal bleeding may occur and appear as bright red streaks on the surface of the stool. Constipation may also cause hard stool to pack the intestine and rectum so tightly, thereby affecting the normal pushing action of the colon to expel the stool. This condition is called 'fecal impaction' and it occurs most often in children and older adults.

Laxatives should be avoided when constipation is reported as they become habit-forming, damage the colon and have adverse side-effects. Ayurveda considers constipation as a disease caused by the vitiation of the vata dosha and it is called 'anaha' in Ayurveda. The other two doshas can also cause constipation. Constipation caused due to a high pitta dosha is characterized by dry stools and due to a high kapha dosha, it is accompanied by pains in passing out the sticky feces. In people with kapha vitiation, the excessive mucus results in the blockage of the rectal passage which will obstruct the elimination of the feces.

Natural remedies are mostly recommended for constipation. It includes natural herbs that can build up the colon and re-activate natural peristaltic action. The herbal combinations can be used for longer duration and these combinations can improve the colon's health and start the bowels moving again. As compared to allopathic medication, herbal remedies offer the potential benefits of quicker relief from constipation and with no side-effects.

Herbal Home Remedies for Constipation

Constipation is a vata condition expressing such vata qualities as dryness and hardness. It is caused by insufficient fiber in the diet, insufficient water intake, lack of exercise, heavy meat eating and numerous other factors. Constipation may create distension and discomfort, flatulence and pain, headache and bad breath and may lead to absorption of toxins from the colon. Thus it is best to prevent constipation by keeping vata in balance.

Follow the Vata Pacifying Diet

One of the best ways to prevent constipation, especially if you have a predominantly vata constitution, is to follow the vata-balancing diet. Stay away from cold foods and drinks, dried fruit, salads, and most beans; favor warm foods, warm drinks, and well-cooked vegetables. Some oil in the diet is helpful.
