homeopathy and constipation

[Guest guest]

I've mentioned before that homeopathic remedies have helped my dd's

stool greatly, although we still haven't quite gotten past the marble

pellets coming and going. I was at a super supplements store the

other day and they had a book on the shelf about homeopathy, so I

thought I'd look to see what remedies they had listed for

constipation, and there was one that had the marble stool description-

-magnesia muriatica. So I will be ordering that remedy and giving it

a try with her. In the past, we have done alumina, graphites,

bryonia, and lycopodium, as well as pulsatilla (for stools that are

always changing). But the magnesia muriatica one describes the one

thing that lingers for her, so I will give it a try.

I also wanted to mention another remedy the book had listed that I

had not seen before, because the description applies to a lot of the

kids/people on this board and that is that there just simply is no

real urge to go...the stool will just stay in there so long... so if

you are interested in reading about that, try googling

hydrastis canadensis and constipation

and take a look at the description. Homeopathic remedies are made

from the actual substances themselves, but they are so diluted down.

The dilutions is what makes them more potent and have more action on

the body, in homeopathic medicine, which is the opposite of what we

are used to in allopathic medicine, where you give a larger dose of

the substance to get the effect. Think of a headache--take a

tylenol, or if it's a bad headache, take two tylenol...this is not

how homeopathy is felt to work. Homeopathy takes a substance, such

as aluminum, which in large doses does cause constipation. Then they

dilute it down (dilutions and succussions), and each dilution is felt

to act upon the body's natural healing ability, that the body will

recognize the substance in its diluted form. Then the body will

correct the problem. AGain, all of the remedies we have done with

homeopathy have produced noticeable results with maybe the exception

of one of them, but the marble stool is among the last things to

change for my dd...she now will get an urge, can pass stools more

easily, but I will try the magnesia muriatica and see, and post here

in the future.
