5 Herbal Remedies For Constipation In Adults

Constipation In Adults

Everyone feels the need for laxatives now and again during the normal course of life. A heavy meal, gorging too much food, gluttony, eating unhealthy foods like stringy meat, processed sugars and starches, too much animal food all cause indigestion and constipation.  Many people suffer from acute to chronic constipation which causes distressing symptoms, like bloating, abdominal pain, loss of appetite, flatulence, nausea and vomiting.

A healthy diet is crucial for a healthy digestive tract. The bowl movement should be regular and complete evacuation should take place. Irregular bowel movements harden the stools and one has to strain a lot and exert a lot of pressure when passing stool.

This straining and exerting pressure can damage the blood vessels inside the colon and rectum and give rise to more health issues. Commercial laxatives contain chemicals that help increase bulk and frequency of the stool but these are not a permanent solution and their overuse does more harm than good.
