Let’s talk about something most people have experienced, but not many people like admitting.

Constipation.

Us Homeopaths just love talking about poo!

If you’ve ever gone a few days without a bowel motion, sat there feeling like you should be able to go but can’t, or felt like you were never quite finished... you’re definitely not alone.

One of the things I love about homeopathy is that we don’t treat constipation as one condition.

We ask how are you constipated?

When did it start?

How is your skin?

Do you have any dietary issues?

Because the answer matters.

Here are a few examples.

🍂 Nux vomica

You feel like you need to go constantly, but very little comes out. Lots of urging, straining and frustration. You might also be busy, stressed, living on coffee, skipping meals or burning the candle at both ends.

🌼 Bryonia

Everything feels dry. The stool is hard, large and dry, almost as though there’s not enough moisture anywhere. You may be thirsty for large drinks and just want to be left alone until it passes.
