Constipation is failure of the contents of the large bowel to be evacuated due to inactivity. This can be due to ignoring body signals that the body is full and needs to go to the toilet, or lack of exercise, or nervous stress or poor eating habits, like low fibre foods. The waste products stagnate in the bowel, changing behaviour of intestinal flora friendly to the body and necessary for breakdown of food. When your stool is hard and infrequent you know that you have constipation.

The addition of fibre in the diet will aid digestion. Good sources of fibre include whole wheat, bran, fresh or dried fruit and vegetables. Preventatives for constipation are: high fibre diet, minimum 8 glasses of water a day, regular exercise and always go to the toilet when you have the urge, do not wait.

Remember that the habit of taking laxatives lessens the ability of the bowel to do its work.

It is essential to ensure that the toxins are removed from the body. This can be done by using the Detox Tincture or Tonic. These formula's will encourage the bowels to function more efficiently as well as ensure the toxins are eliminated.

Aloe Vera is an excellent cleanser and purifier of the body. It will assist in regulating the bowel motions.

More Info

Fushi’s Total Body Probiotic complex contains a blend of 5 strains of beneficial bowel bacteria. The bowel should contain over 500 different beneficial bacteria, which are vital for supporting many systems of the body including the digestive tract, immune system and detoxification organs such as the liver. These bacteria also make some of the essential vitamins we need and help to make sure that pathogenic bacteria (which can cause disease and illness) are not allowed to build up in the bowel.

 

This complex also includes Fructooligosaccharides (FOS) which is a special kind of carbohydrate substance which feeds the beneficial bacteria and therefore increases their chances of surviving and thriving in the bowel.
