Irritable Bowel Syndrome or IBS is growing increasingly common these days. This is a group of conditions such as difficulty in passing stool, abdominal pain, diarrhoea and more. Constipation, on the other hand, arises when the bowel movements are rough, and the passing of stool is a painful and challenging process. For both these, homeopathy can have some lasting and positive effects. Some of the best medications include Nux Vomica, Bryonia Alba, Alumina, Lycopodium Clavatum, Silicea, Antimonium Crudum and Podophyllum Peltatum, Aesculus Hippocastanum and Collinsonia Canadensis, Ratanhia and Nitric Acid, Natrum Mur, Opium and Chelidonium Majus, Colocynthis, Argentum Nitricum and Natrum muriaticum.
