What is constipation?

There are 4 basic types of constipation described are:

  • infrequent stools
  • hard stools
  • difficulty passing stools (straining)
  • sense of incomplete emptying after a bowel movement.

The reason behind each of these “types” of constipation is different, and the strategy for each needs to be customized. Constipation can be followed by diarrhea. This pattern has been connected with the more severe disorder of irritable bowel syndrome (IBS). Also, for the most part, severe cases of constipation happens where total obstruction occurs, where stool solidifies in the rectum and passage of stool is near impossible.

As we age, our bowel movement reduce. While most people have a bowel movement once a day, slightly less than 50% of the adult population seem to enjoy the regular pattern. The other half are irregular and do not have bowel movements on a daily basis.

 

Quick Constipation Assessment 

  • Healthy bowell movement: regular daily bowel movement.
  • Constipation is considered a real problem when there are fewer than three bowel movements per week.
  • When constipation is serious, people will experience less than one bowel movement per week.

Medical specialists embrace the point that there is no medical explanation to having a bowel movement daily. Additionally, they have determined not having a bowel movement for 2-3 days does not cause discomfort, only mental concern for some people. Medical researchers and doctors support there is no evidence that “toxins” accumulate when bowel movements are infrequent or that constipation leads to cancer. This statement is contrary to natural and Chinese herbs practitioner(s). However, the discomfort needs be resolved and the most effective source of relief and correction comes Chinese herbs for constipation.

It is vital to distinguish acute (recent onset) constipation from chronic (long term) constipation. You need to approach your health practitioner with your constipation concerns regarding the following:

  • Acute constipation needs immediate assessment because a serious medical illness may be the underlying cause (e.g., tumors of the colon).
  • Additionally, constipation needs to be assessed if it occurs with serious symptoms such as rectal bleeding, abdominal pain and cramps, nausea and vomiting, and involuntary weight loss.
  • In comparison, the assessment of chronic constipation may not need attention, especially, if simple aid brings relief.

 

OK! THE NATURAL MEDICINE EXPLANATION 

WHAT IS THE UNDERLYING CAUSE OF CONSTIPATION & WHAT NEEDS TO BE DONE TO CORRECT THE IMBALANCE?

While the medical model describes and defines the condition of constipation, it is not clear what the underlying causation is. To declare there is inflammation or infection underpinning constipation may not be the whole story. Though there may be inflammation, its important to understand the precondItion and unseen phenomena creating this toxic condition.

The comparison of weather and condition will provide us the understanding of what is happening with constipation. At what time, its hot and dry, we have a desert environment. What happens is that everything dries up. When the environment is cold and damp then the condtions are boggy-everything is moist. When these conditions occur in the elimination tracts, then our fecal matter is transformed. If our descending colon and rectum are too hot then its dries our elimination. The result is that it becomes dry and hardened. It also slows down due to excess friction and lack of lubricating mucous. Chinese herbs for constipation will counter the above conditions.
