Constipation Remedies by collectionfavourites
I have a long history with stomach and bowel problems. With that, I have tried so many ways to help the symptoms that come on. The only things that have worked well enough for me to have lasting effects and cause the least pain as well as be budget and (long term) body healthy has been the natural remedies I've used which were mainly recommended to me by a private Homeopathic Doctor based in Birmingham (email for details).
Read on for the list of everything that will have you going in no time!
Let's start with a very important step. CLEANSING! It is so important that you do a cleanse before starting with natural remedies so that the nasty additive and chemical infused stomach acids can clean away and start fresh. It is highly likely you will lose some weight when cleansing so it's also a good idea to do so before starting any weight loss programme as well. I tried some lemon water and other fruit or even cinnamon cleanse recipes but none of them worked so obviously I wouldn't recommend doing those either.
I do recommend BOOTEA teatox from Holland and Barrats costing £22 for the 14 day box.It's the perfect way to do your cleanse, my older sister did this, and continues to from time to time as she lost a significant amount of weight the first time she did it. It consists of two types of herbal tea bags containing different ingredients. If you struggle without sweetness, mix in some honey which adds a load of benefits. The night one is the one with a laxative effect so is taken with a days gap inbetween each cup. Some people are sensitive to this tea, don't continue if you feel overly uncomfortable or feel any pain or cramps.
So, The first thing I'm going to recommend for constipation is Yoga. I didn't realise how much of a difference this could make. Myself and my younger sister recently decided to start using our Wii again and bought the game 'Wii Fit Plus' to use with the balance board. I highly recommend doing the yoga on there. I just think it's better that you fix an issue with movement/exercise rather than taking medication or remedies for something that could be sorted otherwise. The effect of the Yoga on my bowels was instant, it helped stretch and move areas that are otherwise stiff and generally still, naturally causing the area to loosen and have healthy bowel movement.
Next, this is what the Doc had told me to do. On an empty stomach when you wake up in the morning, eat two dried figs - if the constipation isn't so bad, eat one only. During the day make sure to drink plenty of water but eat green pears or grapes as well. Otherwise, get yourself some dried prunes. My choice is the Neal's Yard wholefood stuff you can get at Holland and Barrat.
Lastly, Green Tea. I love this stuff so find it really easy to get through a few cups a day. I'm bad because I add sugar but mostly stick with honey when I'm feeling like a goody two-shoes. This will help aid weight loss along with a number of other benefits. It is also a beneficial remedy for those with severe halitosis (as shown on Channel 4's The Food Hospital).
I hope this can be of benefit, feel free to email me or comment below if anything from here may have helped or not and there is something else natural/herbal you can share that worked.
