and we all have experienced it at some point of our life. Constipation makes everyone uncomfortable and
it is when the bowels do not move regularly.
The stools become very hard and it becomes very difficult to eliminate
it thus causing a lot of strain and more discomfort. Some of the causes may be due to change in
diet, physical activity and not consuming enough fluids or the wrong type of
fluids.There are some home remedies that can help you overcome
constipation.
Fruits such as grapes, papaya, pears and prunes are very
helpful in alleviating constipation and will help get the bowels moving along. The combination of cellulose, sugar and organic
acid found in these fruits help create a laxative effect and tone up the
stomach and intestine to help alleviate chronic constipation. Papaya and figs
are fruits that are also wonderful home remedy choices for constipation. It
takes just a half a papaya eaten with breakfast to work as a laxative.
Another method is to
have castor oil in warm milk as it will help get the bowels moving. Two teaspoons of aloe can also be consumed per
day as a home remedy to relieve constipation.

and getting yourself out the door to go for a walk as our body needs fluids and
exercise to remain healthy. Try herbal laxatives which are
