A very common complaint. Constipation is typically caused by a drying out of the large intestine. This can be caused by stress, poor diet, lack of exercise and lack of water intake. When the intestines get dry the mucus membranes react by producing excess mucus that lines the gut. This is a perfect place for bad bacteria, yeast and parasites to flourish. The mucus acts like a dirty filter comprimising assimilation of proper nutrients. The mucus also acts to bogg down the contractibility of the intestinal wall. Laxatives - even herbal ones like senna, cascara sagrada and coffee irritate the intestinal wall and increase the production of reactive mucus. Soon the intestinal wall becomes desensitized to natural peristalsis and normal elimination. The treatments aimed at the cause of this condition are to remove the mucus off the intestinal wall, heal the mucus membranes so they do not produce reactive mucus and tonify the intestinal wall so it can contract efficiently once again.
