SOME HOME REMEDIES THAT WORKS BETTER FOR CONSTIPATION

1. Olive Oil

Pure olive oil is more than just a healthy and tasty fat; it can also help relieve constipation.

You will need…
-1 tablespoon of olive oil
-1 teaspoon of lemon juice (optional)

Directions
In the morning consume one tablespoon of olive oil. It works best on an empty stomach, so have it before you eat anything else.

2. Lemon Juice

Mixing the juice with water not only lessens the intensity of the lemon flavor, but helps get you the fluids you need to get everything moving normally again.

You will need…

-1 fresh lemon

-1 cup of warm water

Directions

Squeeze the juice of 1 lemon into 1 cup of warm water. Drink or sip until finished completely.

3. Fibre

Fiber is material that cannot be digested, and it acts like a sponge. It draws water from its surroundings, making it swell, which softens stool and adds bulk to it, which in turn helps it pass. Like coffee, some kinds of fiber (like beans) can contribute to constipation, so always drink plenty of water. Some good fiber-filled foods include-

-Beans

-Apricots

-Whole grain bread

-Berries

-Broccoli

-Plums, pears, and apples

-nuts

-Potatoes (skip the fries though)

4. Flaxative

Flaxseed oil is a pretty simple home remedy for constipation,since oranges have a good amount of fiber in them (make sure to get orange juice with pulp, which is what has most of the fiber.)

You will need…

-1 glass of orange juice with pulp (8 oz.)

-1 tablespoon of flaxseed oil

Directions

Mix 1 tablespoon of flaxseed oil with 1 glass of orange juice. Drink as needed, but give it time (up to 5 hours) to start working so you don’t overdo it.

5. Aloe Vera Juice

It’s best to use pure aloe Vera gel from the plant. The gel straight from the plant is more concentrated than commercial aloe juice so don’t use more than 2 tablespoons. If you don’t have an aloe plant, than drinking aloe juice can accomplish similar results.

You will need…

-2 tablespoons of pure aloe gel or 1 cup of aloe Vera juice

Directions

Mix two tablespoons of pure gel with fruit juice and drink in the morning, OR drink one cup of aloe Vera juice as needed.

6. Prunes

Perhaps one of the most classic cures for constipation is prunes or prunes juice. The fruit works as a natural laxative because it has high amounts of fiber.

You will need…

-2 glasses of prune juice (8oz)

Directions

Drink one glass of prune juice in the morning and one at night to relieve constipation. It should start working within a few hours, so it’s important to let one glass pass through your intestines before attempting to drink another-or else you risk diarrhea. You can also eat several prunes instead of drinking the juice if you prefer.

7. Dandelion

Dandelions are a terribly annoying weed, The constituents of dandelions make it a gentle laxative as well as an effective detoxifier, and a cup of dandelion tea will be enormously beneficial to those who are suffering from constipation due to inactiveness or the consumption of a lot of processed foods (although drinking it does not mean you don’t need to exercise or eat healthy!)

You will need…

-1-2 teaspoons of dried dandelion leaves

-1 cup of hot water

Directions

Put 1-2 teaspoons of dried dandelion leaves into a mug, and pour hot water over them. Cover and let steep for 6-10 minutes. Drink up to 3 times a day.
