Overview
Chronic constipation is infrequent bowel movements or difficult passage of stools that persists for several weeks or longer. It is generally described as having fewer than three bowel movements per week. Though occasional constipation is common, chronic constipation can interfere with daily life and lead to straining, hemorrhoids, and other complications.

Homeopathic Approach
Homeopathy treats chronic constipation by restoring natural bowel motility without creating laxative dependency. Remedies stimulate the gut's natural peristaltic action and address underlying causes such as hormonal imbalances, stress, or dietary issues. The goal is to establish regular, comfortable bowel habits naturally.
💬 A Note from Dr. Sharda
“Laxative dependency is a common trap with constipation. Homeopathic treatment helps restore your body's natural rhythm. I combine remedies with practical dietary and lifestyle advice. Most patients achieve regular movements within 3–4 weeks of starting treatment.”
