Most people do not know the exact cause of their constipation and thus have trouble finding lasting relief. Yet there are many natural remedies available that can be tailored to your body’s specific needs. In this step-by-step guide, Christopher Vasey explains how healthy intestines work and the different forms that constipation can take. He details the 8 main causes of constipation: lack of roughage, lack of water, liver dysfunction, constipating foods or medications, weak muscles, imbalances in intestinal flora, stress and anxiety, and nutritional deficiencies. He helps you discover which of the 8 causes underlies your unique case and offers practical advice on how to correct it with natural and non-aggressive methods, such as dietary changes, herbs, and relaxation techniques. For situations when quick relief is necessary, he provides gentle ways to empty the bowels, including natural laxatives and enemas, explaining which to choose for each type of constipation, but also stressing that these are only temporary solutions. Explaining how constipation can be a symptom of a deeper imbalance, the author explores how treating it properly can restore full function not only to the digestive system but to the liver and kidneys as well.

PRACTICAL SOLUTIONS EXERCISES FOR STRENGTHENING THE ABDOMINAL AND PERISTALTIC MUSCLES These exercises target the abdominal muscles. The peristaltic muscles cannot be exercised directly, as they are not subject to our will. However, the work performed by the abdominal muscles calls on the peristaltic muscles to work automatically. To begin, start with only a few contractions. With practice you will be able to perform a series of 10, 20, or 40 contractions followed by a brief moment to recuperate. Each series should be repeated two or three times. One sess
