• Other causes are an unfamiliar WC, travelling, and unusual hours of getting up.
• Apart from psychological factors, constipation can also be associated with endocrinal disorders like hypothyroidism, strictures, cancers and bowel obstruction and painful anal fissures.

Conventional treatment with purgatives and laxatives relaxes the bowels and its prolonged use leads to higher dependency on these drugs, causing weakness and paralysis of intestinal muscles.

Homeopathy, on the other hand, treats in totality - safely and gently leading to an actual cure. Homeopathic remedies do not have any side effects and are very effective. For homeopathic prescribing, we take into account the type of constipation and its causes together with the mental symptoms of the patient. Homeopathic medicines will regularise your bowel movements and thus reduce your dependency on laxatives every night. Your appetite will also improve. Thus you can rely on us to put you 'on the move'.
