some point or the other. 'Pooping problem' is
a topic that one hardly likes to discuss.
Constipation basically refers to irritable bowel
movements and is a common cause of painful
defecation and can aggravate if not taken
seriously.
However, there is nothing to feel embarrassed
about. Here are a few simple homes remedies
to ameliorate the irritation:
Lemon: Lemon is one remedy which most of
the doctors recommend. Drinking a glass of
warm water with lemon and a pinch of salt in
it in the morning not only acts as a cleansing
agent for the intestines, but also helps in
smooth passage of stool.
Fiber: Consuming food rich in fiber can
actually work wonders. So, it is advisable to
start one's day with food that has high
quantity of fiber like dried beans, prunes, figs
etc. as fiber rich food acts like a sponge
thereby preventing crams and stomach
bloating.
Raisins: Raisins are also high in fibre and
help a lot in aiding digestion and relieving
constipation.
Triphala powder: It acts as a great laxative.
Just add one teaspoon of triphala powder in
lukewarm water and a little honey and drink it
just after you wake up empty stomach in the
morning. It will work wonders.
Oranges: They are packed with Vitamin C and
just one orange can supply 116.2% of the
daily value of Vitamin C which provides
instant relief from constipation.
Water: It flushes out all the toxins from the
body and also provides fluidity for the flow of
blood. It is advisable to to have at least 8
glasses of water for a smooth bowel
movement.
Never ignore nature's call: Yes, last but
certainly not the least, one should never
ignore a nature's call as it is like inviting
trouble for future.
