Home Remedies for Constipation
As we look at home remedies for constipation, it will help if we look at some of the CAUSES of constipation. Sometimes eliminating the CAUSE of something will lead to it's own remedy.
Having suffered from this uncomfortable phenomena myself
from time to time, and having tried everything from...don't laugh...clamping my hands over my ears to block out all sounds.. okay, you may laugh, but it DOES work! to setting a footstool next to the john ( so you can be in more of a 'squatting' position), I have discovered some techniques to help aid the discomfort of constipation but I also know there are many simple and natural remedies that others have used for constipation.
What you will find below and on every page of this website, for that matter is a compilation of remedies and treatments that I have heard about or that others have shared with me on various topics of distress.
Some Root Causes of Constipation
- Not drinking enough water This is the number one cause of constipation
- Not enough fiber in the diet
- Weak stomach muscles
- 'Holding it' for too long...
- Eating to much refined or junk foods
- Not chewing your food properly
- Some diseases such as colitis, tumors, diabetes, or sluggish livers
So by FIXING some of the causes it will result in naturally eliminating constipation, such as:
- Drinking more water...You should drink AT LEAST half your body weight in oz. of water every day
- Cutting back on the sugar
- Include more fiber in your diet
- ...And CHEW your food when you eat it it is amazing how often we GULP down our meal in a hurry!
Easy Home Remedies for Constipation
- Take 2 Tbl. Blackstrap Molasses at night before going to bed.
Molasses is also an excellent source of iron and energy.
- For immediate relief of constipation, try this STAY close to a bathroom for at least an hour after this one!
Mix a half a glass of water and about 1/4 tsp of Epsom Salts and drink it.
I don't consider the Epsom Salts method to be a home remedy for constipation, but simply a quick way to relieve it.
STAY CLOSE TO A BATHROOM AS YOU WILL NEED TO USE IT WITHIN A SHORT TIME!
- Mixing equal parts of orange juice and olive oil will also give quick relief.
- Cabbage Juice... drink half a cup of cabbage juice twice a day to help cure constipation.
- Drinking 4-5 cups of water every morning BEFORE eating anything has been known to not only be one of the best home remedies for constipation but also helps with weight loss, gives you a very healthy skin and just overall is a healthy way to start the day.
- Drink a glass of milk and a big handful of grapes just before going to bed for a simple natural constipation remedy. In the morning drink a glass of orange juice (with pulp) before eating anything else.....you should be visiting the bathroom within an hour.
- Pure Maple Syrup works for some people...it does for me!...Mix with peanut butter and eat a good teaspoon every morning. It has to be one of the BEST TASTING home remedies for constipation!
MY FAVORITE CONSTIPATION REMEDY:
- And here is one of my favorite natural remedies for constipation... I have done this for years with great results.
Get the HOTTEST BTU of cayenne you can get. I usually get mine from a health food store as you can get the really hot stuff in the herb section. I like to get the 100,000 BTU.
Watch out, it is HOT. I usually fill my own capsules and even after years of taking cayenne, I STILL have to make sure I take it along with food.
Take a capsule every morning. Cayenne is a great blood purifier and I bet you if you start taking one every day, not only will you cure your constipation, but you will notice way less flu bugs and sickness affecting you.
