• Nux Vomica: This homeopathic medicine is used to treat constipation in adults and ineffective urging to pass stool. It is common to experience an incomplete evacuation feeling when stool is passed in such cases. There's no end to this urge. The medicine is also used to treat piles, which sometimes develop in association with constipation.
• Alumina: Alumina is a homeopathic remedy that promotes constipation by preventing the urge to poop. There is no comparison between the symptoms based on which this medicine is used and those based on which nux vomica is used. A large accumulation of stool gathers in the intestines after the affected person loses the desire to pass stool for a number of days. There is an inactivity and sluggishness in the intestines. The stool has to be expelled with a great deal of effort. Infants suffering from constipation should take this medicine.
• Bryonia Alba: It is used for constipation when the stool is hard, dry, and very large. It becomes very dry on the mucous membranes. There may be a feeling of soreness in the abdomen. In addition to feeling thirsty, the affected person's mouth and lips feel dry.
• Opium: When stool is passed in the form of round, hard balls along with constipation, opium is prescribed. It looks like black sheep dung balls. A long period of time passes before stool leaves the intestine. As a result, the abdomen becomes hard and bloated. Constipation caused by enema abuse can also be treated with opium.
• Silicea: Constipation caused by constricted anal sphincters is treated with Silicea. Due to spasmodic constriction of the anal sphincter, the stool recedes from the rectum and remains there for a long time. Symptoms of obstructed flatus include bloating, tightness, and hardness in the abdomen. Constipation during menstruation can be treated with Silicia.
