How Homoeopathy Can Help

Homoeopathy views constipation as a symptom that reflects your unique digestive patterns and response to various factors. We look at your specific symptoms, what makes them better or worse, and your overall digestive health picture.

During a consultation, we explore your complete digestive story, including your dietary habits, stress levels, and how constipation affects your daily life. The goal is to address the underlying factors that contribute to your symptoms and support your body's natural digestive processes.
