Integration of "good" bacteria
In addition to the typical herbal remedies formulated with plant extracts, the herbal medicine offers biotechnological products with a bacterial base: when a person suffers from constipation, the intestinal bacterial flora is probably also altered. Strictly speaking, it would also be advisable to take complexed herbal products. with microorganisms useful for the intestine (probiotics).
Bacterial integration is generally essential in case of constipation related to the inability to absorb vitamins or constipation related to a vitamin deficiency: a bacterial integration improves the physiology of the intermediate part of the intestine.
Intestinal bacteria
The bacteria that populate the intestine grow in specific areas along the intestinal tract and are not mixed with each other: for this reason it would not be entirely correct to take a herbal product with a mix of enterobacteria, bifidobacteria, yeast, lactobacilli and streptococci A formulation of this type would be correct only in the case in which the intestinal bacterial flora needs to be slightly improved, but certainly not restored, as in the case of constipation.
Combined natural products
The herbalist should recommend more combined products: the first, the most important, which acts precisely as a treatment aimed at constipation (for example a formulation based on tamarind or fiber); at this point he should propose a "delayed bacterial integration, that is to assume , day by day, capsules of different bacteria to allow microorganisms to settle correctly in the right areas.
Example of natural product
Here is an example: herbal product with inulin (from chicory), flax, psyllium, Lactobacillus acidophilus and L. casei
- Inulin extracted from chicory (Cichorium intybus): Inulin is a sugar, a fructan extracted from the chicory root that comes in the form of a white powder. It seems that inulin can increase the number of some microorganisms naturally present in the intestinal tract (Bifidobacteria and Lactobacilli), which coat an important role in the regularization of intestinal function and in the "absorption of nutrients. There are those who even venture to" another potential associated with inulin: according to what has emerged from some clinical studies, inulin may be able to exercise a "cholesterol-lowering action, ie lowering cholesterol.
- Flax - seeds - (Linum usatissimum): the flax seeds, placed in water, swell and release mucilage, substances of vegetable origin used as adjuvants in the treatment of constipation thanks to their laxative power.
- Psyllium (Plantago ovata), also known as “Ispaghul”, is rich in mucilages which, when placed in a hydrophilic environment, swell to form a voluminous gel. Precisely for this reason, psyllium mucilages are used in the formulation of products against constipation: psyllium stimulates peristalsis and promotes bowel emptying. Psyllium mucilages are also used to reduce inflammation of the intestine thanks to the presence of iridoids which contribute to the drug activity.
- L. acidophilus and L. casei: the formulation of the herbal product with two categories of lactobacilli is appropriate; bacterial integration is aimed at restoring a particular stretch of the intestine, consequently peristalsis will be favored.
It is advisable to take a product of this type for two to three days, and then continue the treatment with only bacterial integration, without drugs with laxative activity, which would create a sort of "dependence on mucilage" in the intestine.
A correct lifestyle should be combined with a herbal remedy of this type. In the case of constipation and gastrointestinal problems, acidic and spicy foods should be limited as they slow down digestion. Fruit and fiber should be ubiquitous in diets, not just in case of constipation.
This herbal product is configured as an excellent help for the body even after taking antibiotic drugs, thanks to the presence of microorganisms capable of restoring the bacterial population.
Ancient remedies for constipation
Folk medicine has strong roots in tradition: already in ancient times the need was felt to "protect" the bacterial flora that populated the intestine. For this reason, garlic and onion, considered antiseptics, were used for protection and reinforcement. of the intestinal flora.
