Most alternative modalities look at the entire body as one unit; whereas most Western doctors view the body as a large system of individual parts. That's why we have foot doctors, bone doctors, ear doctors, and so on. Most Western doctors would never make a correllation between the two problems... they'd give you laxatives for the constipation and send you to a psychiatrist for the depression, who would more than likely prescribe some horrible mind-altering drug like Zoloft. Ugh.

But yes, there could be a definite correllation. Constipation causes fatigue, bloating, and toxicity, which can depress your immune system, thereby causing mental depression as well.

I'm not terribly familiar with Reiki... from what I've read it's a stress reduction/relaxation technique. That sounds fine, but if I had to guess, I would say that the constipation is causing the depression, and not the other way around. If you're constipated, you might consider a natural colon detoxification program.

You'll need to up your fiber intake... psyllium husk works wonderfully for colon detoxification. You'll also need to drink lots and lots of water... you can't cleanse your colon without it.

If you're interested in an actual purchasable program, I highly suggest the Colonix program found at:

I've been on it for nearly three months, and I'm amazed by what it's done for me. I feel better than I ever have.

Any time you're doing detoxification is a good time to incorporate meditation, yoga, or the Reiki you mentioned. I think that the two might compliment each other well. Best of luck!

It can be pretty depressing if you can't go to the toilet. Try getting a lot more vegetable and fruit fibre in your diet and drink a lot more water. It will probably help both your constipation and your depression.

Yes there is a link between depression and constipation.
Constipation causes toxicity and toxicity can cause depression.
Homeopathy can easily fix both.
Work closely with a homeopathic physician.
