5 REMEDIES TO GET RID OF CONSTIPATION

CONSTIPATION is a condition in which there is irregular bowel movement.  Stools get dry and hard and its discharge becomes infrequent and difficult.  

Today we are going to look into some remedies which can help to ease out constipation and make your day blissful.  

1.  LEMON  & HONEY

 You can always use lemon to cure constipation.  Take lemon with warm water, add a pinch of rock salt and honey.  Take this first thing in the morning on an empty stomach.  You can have this solution in the evening as well.  Follow this remedy everyday for few weeks and you will be relieved from constipation.  This is the simplest and most effective remedy for constipation

 

2.  GINGER TEA 

 Ginger tea is another remedy to get rid of constipation.  Stir the grated ginger into a cup of hot water and let steep for 2 minutes.  Strain or let the ginger settle at the bottom of the cup.  Your ginger tea is ready.  It helps in starting bowel movements.

 

3.  ISABGOL (HUSK)

Take 2-3 tablespoons of isabgol (Psyllium seed husks) before going to bed with warm water/milk.  The isabgol contains large quantities of a gelatinous substance, which absorbs water, and, due to its enhanced swelling properties, forms an emollient gel that facilitates the passage of intestinal contents and stimulates bowel movement.  Because isabgol forms a bulk on swelling, it is classified as a bulk-laxative.  It is usually effective within 8-12 hours. Since isabgol is unaffected by the digestive enzymes and not absorbed into the system, it does not affect the absorption of other nutrients.  It passes unchanged through the intestines. Therefore the action of isabgol is purely mechanical, as it relives constipation by mechanically stimulating bowel movement. This process closely approximates the body’s own mechanism. The Jelly-like substance has, in addition, a remarkable capacity to absorb bacterial and other toxins in the intestines. In short, Sat Isabgol works partly by lubrication and partly by increasing the bulk of the intestinal contents, which stimulates bowel movement.  

4.  CASTOR OIL

 Castor oil is a sure shot remedy to get rid of constipation from centuries.  You can have this with a warm glass of milk before bedtime.  Although a very good remedy  to get rid of constipation but it tastes awful.  Castor oil has the properties that can kill the intestinal worms as well.  

5.  FLAX SEEDS

Flax seeds are rich in fibres and can help in reducing constipation.  They also contain heart healthy omega-3 fats.  You can mix flaxseeds in your morning cereals or can have with smoothie
