5 Effective Natural Home Remedies for Constipation

By Xylene Belita

Constipationis when a person only has infrequent bowel movements (3 or fewer per week). The feces is often dry and hard making it sometimes extremely painful to expel. This happens when the colon absorbs too much water from the food or if the food moves through the gastro-intestinal tract too slowly. The causes of constipation vary. It may be due to hormones, medications, illnesses, but most often it is dietary.

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

1.Drinking water regularly would be very great and therapeutic. Make sure to drink at least 6 glasses of water a day. Large amounts of water aids quick digestion and enables easier bowel movement.

2.Add roasted black gram powder to chapatti made of wheat to water, including the husks, can enhance constipation relief.

3.Molasses is also very good for constipation relief. Beware though as it has a strong taste and high calorie content. 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.Take half a cup of cabbage juice twice a day. This is very effective in treating and curing 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.

However, if you suffer from painful constipation, you can treat it with maximum results in a very short time with Bowtrol. Even with only one bottle of Bowtrol can work wonders since it completely cleanses and empties your colon leaving you feeling well. - 15784
