HOMOEOPATHY FOR BOWEL SYMPTOMS: CONSTIPATION – NUX VOMICA
Posted: under Gastrointestinal.
The following remedies are intended for short-term use only. It is generally not helpful to exchange regular doses of laxatives for regular doses of the appropriate homoeopathic remedy, since underlying causes must be dealt with, rather than being dependent on medication for the regulation of symptoms.
Nux Vomica
Often indicated for people who have become dependent on regular doses of laxatives connected to a busy sedentary lifestyle. The stool may be described as ‘bashful’ because of its tendency to incomplete evacuation. Those needing Nux Vomica are likely to experience a sensation of never quite having completed a bowel motion – it often feels as though something has been left behind. There may be a strong urge for a bowel movement, but however much straining is done, nothing seems to happen. There may also be a residual burning sensation in the rectum once the bowels have acted. Irritability and physical and mental oversensitivity are likely to accompany the problem.
