There is a strong connection between bowel movement and the balance of good and bad bacteria in the intestinal environment. Constipation occurs when the stool remains too long in the gut, inducing bad bacteria to increase which leads to more irregular bowel and accumulation of waste matter in the colon.

The accumulation of waste matter along intestinal walls leads to poor absorption of nutrients and poor overall health. Furthermore, toxic substances absorbed via the intestinal wall invade the blood flow which cause skin disorders and poor physical condition.
