Relieving Constipation Naturally
Poor diet and stress can lead to irregular bowel movements and an uncomfortable, bloated feeling. If you suffer from constipation chronically, you should consult your health care provider to rule out any serious problems. But for occasional constipation, there are many natural remedies that can provide healthy relief. These solutions are not habit-forming and have been tested over time.
- Cascara Sagrada has been used for centuries to move the colon. It's much milder than other herbs and is just the thing for occasional constipation. Cascara has been an approved treatment for constipation in the U.S. Pharmacopoeia since 1890.
- Aloe Vera’s soothing compounds help maintain gastro-intestinal health, boost the immune system and cleanse your defense system the natural way. It can be taken in a capsule, or try liquid Aloe Vera Juice Concentrate, easy to add to your morning juice or tea.
- Make sure you get enough fiber in your diet. Supplement a diet low on natural fiber with Psyllium Husk Capsules. This bulk-forming laxative is high in fiber and mucilage. Psyllium should always be taken with ample water, especially for individuals who may have difficulty swallowing.
- Another fiber source, with added health benefits, is Flaxseed Meal. Flaxseed is a good source of Omega-3 fatty acids, which have a variety of health benefits.
Drinking enough fluids is important for avoiding or relieving constipation, especially for older adults, so be sure to drink plenty of water each day and avoid the high-fat, high-sugar foods that can disrupt healthy digestion.
