What causes constipation?
Most people have at least one bowel movement
a day. However, bowel habits vary from person to person
and less frequent bowel movements are not necessarily
a sign of constipation.
Most doctors will agree, however, that
anyone who has a bowel movement less than three times
a week and passes hard stools can be said to be constipated.
Constipation happens to everyone occasionally,
but some people suffer from chronic constipation which
makes their lives a misery and each bowel movement
a huge relief!
Occasional constipation is usually caused
by diet, lack of exercise, stress
or drinking insufficient liquids.
Chronic constipation can be caused by
a variety of factors, including digestive disorders
like IBS, lack of fiber and
fluids in the diet, depression, lack of exercise
and some medical conditions like diabetes, colon cancer
and hypothyroidism.
Constipation may also be a side effect
of some prescription drugs for depression, high blood
pressure and pain relief. Many people have also lost
natural bowel movements due to the overuse and abuse
of OTC and prescription laxatives.
Herbs can help!
Herbalists and naturopaths from cultures
all over the world have used herbs for centuries to
promote regular bowel movements, purify the system
and treat constipation.
Using herbs which are strong enough to
treat even stubborn constipation, yet gentle enough
not to cause unpleasant diarrhea and cramping, Natural
Moves Tablets can be used for both chronic
and occasional constipation, depending on the dosage
used.
The herbs used in Natural Moves Tablets
promote healthy digestion and also

avoiding the risk of dependency and side effects associated

ingredients in therapeutic dosage:
Aloe Ferox: A succulent
and well known medicinal herb native to South Africa,
Aloe Ferox has many different uses and writings from
as early as 1500BC in Ancient Egypt document its medicinal
uses. Amongst other benefits, Aloe Ferox is known for
its beneficial effect on digestive functioning. It
is a natural laxative that acts as a remedy for constipation.
It is also widely recommended for digestive complaints
and for inflammatory digestive disorders like IBS and
other inflammatory bowel diseases.
Taraxacum officinale (Dandelion):
Dandelion contains bitter principles which have a beneficial
effect on the liver and digestive system. It aids digestion
by stimulating the release of bile from the liver and
also acts as a mild laxative. Dandelion is also a rich
source of vitamins and minerals, including Vitamin
A, D, C, various B Vitamins, iron, lecithin, silicon,
potassium, magnesium, zinc and manganese. It enhances
liver and gall bladder functioning and may decrease
high blood pressure due to its diuretic properties.
Passiflora incarnata: One
of nature's safest and most effective tranquilizers,
Passiflora also helps to relax and to relieve muscle
tension. High tension levels, anxiety and stress are
often implicated in people suffering from chronic constipation
and other digestive complaints. Passiflora is included
in Natural Moves to enhance the effects of Aloe Ferox
and Taraxacum officinale. |
