There are those who claim that, if a pill comes from ingredients from a plant, it is therefore "natural" and suitable for human consumption. They ignore the fact that extracts of plants and herbs are chemicals - and some chemicals can kill! Prescription medicines have undergone numerous tests, following rigid procedures until there is evidence that any drug or treatment really does work. Most natural products have not undergone such testing.

This type of constipation needs immediate attention from a doctor. This article only covers Functional Constipation. This type of constipation is a result of not following a proper diet, drinking enough fluids, having good emotional health and not having a good lifestyle - a lifestyle that promotes good movement of digested foods through the intestines and colon. Even though there are many definitions for constipation, constipation is simply a condition where the fecal matter traveling through your colon remains too long in your colon before traveling out the rectum.
