Digestive Problems: How Can Homeopathy Help?
What Does the Digestive System Do?
The
digestive system consists of the gastrointestinal tract (GI tract), the liver, the
pancreas, and the gallbladder. The GI tract includes the mouth, esophagus,
stomach, small intestine, large intestine and anus. It performs a very
important function in our body by helping in the absorption of nutrients and expulsion
of waste products. A problem in any part of the system can wreak havoc in
everyday life and can give rise to chronic or serious medical conditions.
What Causes Digestive Problems?
There
are various reasons why a person may have digestive problems. Digestive
problems can be caused by:-
- Gastroesophageal Reflux Disease (GERD) – This causes acidity and acid reflux which causes a burning pain in the chest.
- Gallstones – They block the ducts that connect the gallbladder to the intestines and cause sharp pain in the upper abdomen.
- Celiac Disease – This is due to the sensitivity to gluten and can cause pain, vomiting, constipation, etc.
- Crohn’s Disease – This is an inflammatory bowel disease that causes abdominal pain, diarrhea, fever, etc.
- Ulcers – These can occur anywhere along the GI tract and can be caused by stress and unhealthy food habits.
- Irritable
Bowel Syndrome – This sensitive
condition can cause constant discomfort, pain, diarrhea
and bloating.
- Hemorrhoids
– These are caused by
inflamed blood vessels at the end of the digestive
tract.

reasons that trigger these digestive problems. They can include:

treat the whole person. The other benefit is that homeopathic medicines have no
harmful side effects as they use a very small and diluted amount of the active
ingredient that treats the illness.
