5 Home Remedies for Constipation

By Xylene Belita

Constipation (also known as Costiveness) is a condition in which a person has difficulty in expelling stool. It can be extremely uncomfortable and at times painful to defecate. The causes of constipation are varied.

Here are some natural home remedies for constipation that would help you prevent and stop constipation in its tracks:

1.Drink water regularly. At least 6 glasses of water a day would be very great and therapeutic. Large amounts of water aids quick digestion and enables easier bowel movement.

2.Adding roasted black gram powder to chapatti made of wheat including the husks too can enhance constipation relief.

3.Molasses which have high calorie content are also very good. Beware though as it has a strong taste and you'll want to add fruit juice or milk to it when taking it. All you really need is two tablespoonfuls of blackstrap molasses just before sleeping at night.

4.Half a cup of cabbage juice twice a day is also very effective in treating constipation.

5.If you got access to mango, take one in the morning right after brushing before breakfast, and one at night after dinner. Mangoes are very effective bowel movers. There is a sure guarantee that you'll have to "go" at least twice before nightfall.
