Constipation Remedies –DIY Solutions

Article Abstract by: MysteryMoon     

Original Author: Unknown
1) Vegetables like cabbage, cauliflower, carrots, brussel sprouts and asparagus   alleviate constipation whether
in soups or by themselves.
2) Whole grains, beans, corn and bran cereals also do the trick. For breads, always go with the whole grain since the flour for white bread is already grinded thus losing the natural fibers.
3) Fruits like pears, papayas, figs, prunes and citrus fruits are also high in fiber. Avoid dried fruits though, since the drying process already destroyed the natural fibers in them.
4) Fresh ginger teas are excellent for stimulating bowel movement. Fresh aloe vera teas are also a good bet.
5) Lemon juice mixed with warm water when taken thrice a day after meals will ease constipation.
·6) Drink a liter of warm water after waking up in the morning and then walk around for a few minutes.
7) Drink warm milk before breakfast.
8) Consider using spices like cumin, coriander, turmeric powder and fennel. These spices are known to make food easier to digest.
9) Drink half a cup of apple cider vinegar before going to bed.
10) Finely grind two parts of psyllium seeds with a part of oat bran and flax each and then mix with a small amount of water. Drink it before going to sleep.
