Constipation is having infrequent bowel movements or having hard
stools or strain during evacuation. Normal bowel movement is
once or twice daily, passed easily. Anything less than that, is
constipation. Some people have had constipation all their lives,
so they think it is normal to have a bowel movement only once
every 2-3 days. Constipation is the root cause of
many illnesses. When there is constipation, the GI tract is not
discharging properly and trouble arises in time. Constipation
can be caused by many factors.
GI tract bacterial and
parasitic infections (amoeba, Giardia,
typhoid),
gallstones,
lack of dietary fiber,
hypo-thyroid, etc. When constipation is
chronic, toxic build up reaches a high level at which body
tissues and organ tissue begin to deteriorate.

According to
the
natural law of duality (where expansion = yin, contraction =
yang), constipation is caused by contraction
(GI blockage, tightness). Hemorrhoids is caused by expansion (bulging
of blood vessels, burning and bleeding).
Constipation and hemorrhoids are usually triggered by a passing illness or crisis. But
the underlying cause of constipation and hemorrhoids, like
most
illnesses, is
the accumulation of
faulty
eating habits that
violate the
natural law of duality and produce imbalance and lowered immunity.
Constipation is an illness of the second stage among
the seven stages of
illness. Hemorrhoids is an illness of the third stage.
Constipation and hemorrhoids are
both directly related to the liver, so the kidneys-lungs should also be considered in natural treatment. Kidneys-lungs are mother-father of the liver in
the five elements theory of natural medicine.
