Abstract

This abstract explores naturopathic approaches to relieving constipation, emphasizing effective natural treatments and therapies. Constipation, a common gastrointestinal issue, often results from dietary habits, lifestyle choices, and stress. Naturopathic medicine offers holistic solutions, including dietary modifications, herbal remedies, hydrotherapy, and lifestyle adjustments. Key treatments such as increased fiber intake, hydration, regular exercise, and the use of specific herbs like psyllium husk, senna, and flaxseed are highlighted. The efficacy of probiotics, acupuncture, and abdominal massage are also examined. This review underscores the importance of individualized treatment plans, focusing on restoring balance and promoting overall digestive health.
