The Proven and Effective Natural Remedy for Constipation

May 23, 2009

Do you feel constipated all the time or more to say having irregular bowel movement whose you pay a visit to the C.R. for only thrice or once a week?

Based on experience, actually my mother’s experience, she had irregular bowel movement for the last three (3) years. Everyday she had a hard time of bowel elimination or unable to defecate daily, thus she feels full and constipated most of the time.

So, she tried possible remedies and anti-constipation medicine like suppositories available to relieve irregular bowel movement, consulted a doctor and undergone diagnostic tests as well. Then, she did use laxatives as solution for her constipation, yet laxatives has side effects that may cause electrolyte imbalance and decrease the absorption of certain vitamins. Consistent use of Laxatives inhibits natural defecation reflexes and is thought to cause rather than cure constipation.

Through several medical consultations, doctor’s check-up, alternative medicines and from books and magazines. My mother opted to a natural treatment to solve and cure her irregular bowel movement or abnormal bowel movement. You may opt to try this effective natural solution for your constipation and worry not about the effects of pharmaceutical drugs.

This works for my mom, maybe it will work for you too, I hope so.

These are the daily routine of natural effective remedies without spending much money for irregular bowel movement she did follow consistently for six (6) months, simple and easy.

1. Replace first your drug and medicine or laxatives with natural products for a regular bowel movement containing organic herbs and ingredients.

2. You must exercise daily. Activity like Exercise stimulates peristalsis and exercise stregthen abdominal and pelvic muscles. Strong Abdominal and pelvic muscles are effective in increasing the intra-abdominal pressure during defecation.

3. After you wake-up every morning drink two (2) glass of water and drink plenty of water, because reduced fluid intake, resulting in hard feces.

4. Your diet should consist of foods rich in fiber. Eat fiber rich foods regularly (breakfast, lunch and dinner) like vegetables and fruits (oranges, papaya, watermelon, pineapple). Pomelo and Marang are locally available fruits in the Philippines that my mother attested which effectively helps her daily bowel elimination, maybe due to the Pomelos thicker pulp. If rice is part of your main diet, use brown rice instead because it has more fiber. Fiber found in fruits and vegetables provides sufficient bulk therefore create sufficient residue of waste products to stimulate the reflex for defecation.

5. You eat only small amount of meat or much better eliminate meat in your diet.

6. The most important of all, have a stress free life. Some studies shown that stress or depression may experience slowed intestinal motility, resulting in constipation.

As of now, for one(1) year now my mom has regular bowel movement and normal bowel elimination without the aid of laxatives or anti-constipation drug. And she stills does follow these effective natural remedy, the three basic things – exercise, high fiber diet and less meat. I’m not claiming that this is instantaneous, yet the long term effect of natural solution is effective without side effects.

So, to have regular bowel movement and forget about constipation, GO NATURAL for free.
