Constipation

On average, you should have 1 to 3 bowel movements per day. If your bowel moves infrequently or incompletely, you’ll probably feel bloated, fatigued and uncomfortable. When constipated, movements are often strained and painful, and stools can be hard, dry and small. Constipation happens when the colon absorbs too much water or when your colon’s muscle contractions are slow or sluggish. Common causes are not enough fiber or fluids, insufficient physical activity, medications, disruptions in your normal diet and daily routine, abuse of laxatives, and ignoring the urge to have a bowel movement. Underlying conditions that have constipation as a symptom need to be ruled out, especially low thyroid function.

Restore Regularity

Treatment includes increasing fiber and fluids in your diet, and the use of stimulant herbal laxatives, enzymes and probiotics (healthy bacteria) that are necessary for proper digestion. A potent combination of soluble and insoluble fibers, and magnesium and vitamin C in therapeutic doses, can relieve constipation, but must be closely monitored to avoid diarrhea.

Colon Cleansing is Top Priority

Colon hydrotherapy a couple of times per week for several weeks provides relief by removing obstructions and distortions in your large intestine. This internal wash flushes out fecal matter stuck to the lining of the colon. It is a highly beneficial therapy used for cleansing, detoxifying and rejuvenating the gastro-intestinal tract. Colon hydrotherapy is the gentlest and best treatment option for eliminating constipation and restoring normal bowel function.

Right Way to Eliminate

Most people are unaware that there is correct way to sit for a bowel movement. It is very important to have proper posture. A toilet step puts your colon in the optimal position, reduces the pressure on your rectal veins and decreases stool transit time. You’ll avoid straining and get more complete elimination.

Disease Begins in Your Colon

Many health professionals believe that almost all illness and disease originates in the bowel. Toxins from your colon enter the bloodstream causing allergies, chronic fatigue and numerous other conditions. This is why correcting constipation is so critical for optimal health.

Get Moving

You don’t have to spend your day on the toilet working up a sweat. There are very effective treatments to eliminate constipation. Natural medicines and therapies work by repairing your colon and restoring normal bowel function.
