Fiber and fluid: The best treatments for constipation are "homeopathic"- fiber and fluid. Get enough of both, and usually, the constipation will resolve. Remember to eat a balanced diet and stay active as well. With these simple things, most often the problem resolves. True clinical constipation- moving one's bowels less frequently than once in 5 days- is relatively rare, and should be evaluated by a specialist.

Yes: I agree with my colleague about the importance of fiber and fluid. But while those are absolutely health-maintaining, they are not homeopathic. Homeopathy matches the patient's suffering to the remedy prescribed. The unique features of each person suffering constipation must be understood for a useful prescription -- and there are over 700 remedies known for that. Nux vomica is one possibility.
