How to treat temporary constipation with homeopathy
Constipation is characterized by a decrease in the frequency of bowel movements to less than three per week. Bowel movements can be difficult, with hard stools alternating with false diarrhea, feelings of incomplete exoneration or loss of the urge to have a bowel movement. Homeopathy can relieve constipation problems.
Description of the Homeopathic Kit to treat constipation
Constipation is a common problem, whether temporary or not, and sometimes associated with a change in lifestyle. When symptoms are sudden and accompanied by other disorders, medical consultation is essential.
There are many possible treatments, depending on the type of constipation, but also on the patient's condition and history.
-
Bryonia albi 9 CH isa remedy for constipation with large, hard stools and no desire to have a bowel movement.
-
Nux vomica 5 CH treats constipation resulting from overeating, with a desire to have a bowel movement but no success. Frequent and urgent need to have a bowel movement, but ineffective and painful. Feeling of not having evacuated enough, constipation often associated with hemorrhoids.
-
Platina 9 CH is a remedy for constipation when stools are dehydrated and crumbly when passed, and expulsion is painful and prolonged; if constipation manifests itself as difficult and painful expulsion, large hard or soft stools.
All these remedies should be taken in low dilution (5 or 7 CH), 3 to 5 granules 3 times a day. Like all homeopathic remedies, they should be melted under the tongue, away from meals, tobacco, coffee or mint.
However, it's important to emphasize that homeopathy is concerned with treating individuals, not diseases. It is therefore preferable to consult a homeopath to be sure of using the remedies best suited to your situation.

Do not use strong flavors (mint, coffee).
Allow the granules to melt under the tongue.
