Constipation 11614...India
A 61-year-old woman suffered from constipation for the past five years in spite of her taking 2 litres of water per day and a balanced diet that included fruits and vegetables. She could not pass motion without straining herself unless she took laxatives every other day. Three months ago, her condition became so bad that she took laxatives every day. Even then she could pass motion only once in 3 days and that too with great difficulty. On 7 September 2019, she was given:
CC4.1 Digestion tonic...TDS
After a week the patient reported 30 to 40% improvement as she could now pass motion on alternate days and with less difficulty. After another week she got 100% relief and could pass stools every day with ease. On 4 October 2019, the patient confirmed that she stopped taking laxatives 3 days ago; the bowel movement was now normal and her 5-year ordeal was really over. The dosage was reduced to OD and slowly tapered down to OW on 23 October. She stopped taking the remedy by herself on 28 October 2019, as she did not feel the need for it. As of April 2020, there has been no recurrence.
