Enemas For Constipation

Home Remedies For Constipation

Constipation is among the common and curiously the most debilitating of simple ailments, and often associated with a general sense of lethargy and melancholy. The pursuit of regularity therefore, besides relieving abdominal discomfort and colicky pains, has a noticeably euphoric effect. The reason is not clear. There is no doubt that a good 'bowel action' is satisfactory primarily due to the sense of evacuation but also because the anus is richly supplied with nerve fibers which are stimulated when the bowel opens, resulting in a most pleasing sensation. Further, the internal cleansing of the bowel with enemas or colonic irrigation is reputedly very pleasurable. The British journalist, Ysenda Maxton-Graham described it as 'the most satisfying loo going experience of my life. Years of stored up wind and matter such as old pips, stones and undigested pills are dispensed with - it is a joy to say goodbye to them.'
