Constipation is a condition characterized by infrequent, difficult, or incomplete evacuation of the bowels. Normally, bowel movement frequency varies among individuals, but fewer than three evacuations per week or hard, dry stools are generally considered constipated states.
It results from intestinal hypomotility, inadequate dietary fiber, dehydration, sedentary habits, suppression of the urge to defecate, or secondary causes like hypothyroidism, chronic illness, medications, and neurological disorders.
Chronic constipation may lead to abdominal discomfort, flatulence, headache, hemorrhoids, fissures, and a sense of incomplete evacuation.

Homoeopathy views constipation not merely as a bowel disorder but as a functional disturbance of the entire organism. The aim is to treat the underlying cause—whether dietary, emotional, or metabolic—through constitutional correction.
Remedy selection depends on the type of stool, frequency, accompanying symptoms, temperament, and causative factors. Homoeopathy restores the natural rhythm of bowel movement by improving intestinal tone, peristalsis, and nerve regulation.
Proper hydration, fiber-rich diet, and regular habits are encouraged along with remedy administration to achieve lasting cure.
