Chronic constipation is infrequent bowel movements or difficulty in passing the stools that persists for several weeks or longer. Constipation is generally described as having fewer than three bowel movements a week. Constipation can happen for many reasons, such as when stool passes through the colon too slowly. The slower the food moves through the digestive tract, the more water the colon will absorb and the harder the feces will become.
Homeopathy gently brings the functionality of bowels back to normal. This helps in regularization of bowel movement and formation of stools of normal consistency. The good thing about homeopathy is the fact that the medicines are safe and non habit-forming, unlike the laxatives and purgatives.
