Digestive troubles tend to be more common in the winter months. coMra therapy gives you an easy way to treat a wide range of winter digestive woes without medication.

Digestive troubles are often more common in the winter months. We tend to eat heavier “comfort food”, exercise less frequently and drink less water, all of which causes our gut motility to slow down. Cold, dry environments also contribute to dehydration, which can make bowel movements more difficult.1

The body’s natural response to cold temperatures can also affect digestive health. Our bodies try to keep us warm by reducing the blood flow to the skin (known as vasoconstriction) to prevent heat loss. With heat being concentrated on the vital organs, there is also less blood flow to the intestines, and this can lead to constipation or indigestion.1

Eating more and exercising less can also lead to bloating, liver problems, and even more serious conditions such as irritable bowel syndrome (IBS).

Common signs of constipation include:1

  • Reduced bowel movement frequency
  • Bloating or abdominal pain
  • Dry, hard stools
  • Difficulty or pain in passing stools.

Signs of liver problems include:1b

  • Digestive troubles, particularly with fats
  • Itchy skin, without a visible rash
  • Bad breath
  • Dark-coloured urine and light-coloured stools
  • Jaundice.

IBS symptoms include:1c

  • Abdominal cramps
  • Excessive gas and bloating
  • Constipation or diarrhoea
  • Mucus in stools.

For many people, the first instinct is to reach for laxatives to relieve constipation – but laxative medication can have significant downsides. Stimulant laxatives in particular can cause cramping and gassiness. Overuse of laxatives can cause dehydration, electrolyte imbalances and sometimes, severe diarrhoea.2
