Constipation is the medical term used to irregular bowel movement usually characterized by incomplete passing of bowel and passage of small quantity of dry and hard bowel movements. Incomplete passing of bowel is only achieved by means of straining hard enough to allow passage. Lack of fiber in the diet and insufficient fluid intake are the culprits of the condition. In some cases it can also be due to an underlying medical condition. During constipation bouts, most rely on doctors in finding solutions; probably because they're not aware that there are available herbal remedies for constipation.
