Being able pass stool 1-2 times a day ensures that no waste products are stagnating in your bowel. Stagnation can result in a changed behaviour of your all-important intestinal flora and is very much best avoided to keep good health in flow. Homeopathy and home-healing measures can restore the flow to keep your system clear and clean.
A glass of prune juice in the morning can be enough to give your body a gentle shove in the right direction. If your body needs more than simply a gentle shove, however, the following recipe which I learnt from the incredible homeopath Hilery Dorrian can work wonders for a sluggish bowel:
Take black sesame seeds and walnuts in equal proportions and dry roast them. Cool then crush them. Have one tablespoon of this mix daily with half a pint of water to follow and wait and see!
Bryonia, or Wild Hops
This homeopathic remedy made from Wild Hops is really helpful in addressing constipation when the system is really dry and the stools are hard, dry and burnt looking. There can be burning pains around the anus when trying to pass stool. The abdomen might feel sore and there might be stabbing pains in the back passage. There also might well be a thirst for long drinks. Bryonia is a great remedy for constipation when you’re on holiday and also during pregnancy.
