Chronic constipation is a condition where bowel movements become infrequent or difficult to pass for weeks or longer. It can lead to discomfort, bloating, and complications like hemorrhoids or anal fissures. Homeopathy offers a gentle and effective solution by addressing the root cause without dependency on laxatives.

Causes:

• Low-fiber diet (lack of fruits, vegetables, whole grains).

• Inadequate water intake (dehydration hardens stools).

• Sedentary lifestyle (lack of exercise slows digestion).

• Stress and anxiety (affects gut function).

• Hormonal imbalances (thyroid disorders, pregnancy).

• Overuse of laxatives (weakens natural bowel function).

Symptoms:

✅ Hard, dry stools that are difficult to pass.

✅ Straining during bowel movements.

✅ Feeling of incomplete evacuation.

✅ Bloating, gas, and stomach discomfort.

✅ Infrequent bowel movements (less than 3 times per week).

🔹 Nux Vomica – Best for constipation due to irregular eating habits, stress, or excessive medication use.

Lifestyle & Dietary Tips for Managing Constipation:

✅ Stay hydrated – Drink at least 8-10 glasses of water daily.
