Gastro-intestinal diseases and role of Homoeopathy

Constipation is the root cause of development of most of the other diseases.

In homoeopathy, cause of constipation is taken into consideration.

Constipation can be chronic, since childhood, in bottle-fed infants, in old people, from excessive use of purgatives, from dryness of rectum, from underlying liver disease, from certain food items.
