Constipation is one of the most common digestive complaints—and one of the most misunderstood. In this focused, highly practical webinar, K.P. Khalsa breaks down the real causes behind sluggish bowels and introduces a wide range of natural solutions that restore comfort, regularity, tone, moisture, and ease. Rather than relying on one-size-fits-all laxatives, students learn how to identify their specific constipation pattern and select the correct category of remedies for safe, effective relief. This class is ideal for anyone dealing with chronic irregularity, dryness, gas, bloating, travel-related constipation, or difficulty initiating bowel movements.

Constipation rarely comes “out of nowhere.” It is almost always the downstream result of digestive imbalance, lifestyle patterns, energetics, and long-term habits that must be understood before they can be corrected. In this condition-focused, remedy-rich webinar, K.P. Khalsa demystifies constipation by teaching students how to identify its true root cause: insufficient peristalsis, inadequate moisture, lack of fiber, or—most commonly—a combination of all three.
Beginning with a clear explanation of digestion as a coordinated disassembly line, Khalsa shows why treating only the colon is ineffective without addressing upstream contributors such as saliva production, stomach acid, digestive secretions, gas, and thermal energetics. Students learn how warming herbs, salivation enhancers, bitters, carminatives, and demulcents work together to move food efficiently from ingestion to elimination.
The course then explores a comprehensive natural-medicine toolkit for constipation, including strategic use of stimulant laxatives, fiber-based remedies, moisture and lubrication therapies, dietary and behavioral supports, microbiome restoration, and short-term crisis interventions. Emphasis is placed on correct matching of remedy type to constipation pattern—an essential distinction that prevents worsening symptoms and dependency.
Students leave with the clarity and confidence to build a sustainable, individualized plan that restores healthy bowel tone, supports moisture and motility, and reduces reliance on harsh laxatives. This class is especially valuable for individuals who have “tried everything” yet still struggle with irregularity or discomfort.
