Home Remedies For Constipation

Being constipated is a horrible feeling. You may not want to take an intrusive medicine, such as, a laxative or enema. Here is a list of some home remedies for constipation that you may find helpful.

1. Drink four cups of water before each meal. This is an old Chinese constipation remedy. The water will help flush your system and help you eleviate your bowels.
2. Constipation is often caused because of a lack of fiber in your diet. One of the most simply constipation remedies is to eat a large amount of vegetable and other roughage.
3. Try drinking a hot drink quickly and a cold drink immediately after.
4. Drink a large glass of milk with a handful of grapes before bed. In the morning before eating breakfast have a tall glass of orange juice. Supposedly this will cause a bowel movement within an hour or so.
5. Eat a handful of prunes or a full glass of prune juice with a high fiber cereal (bran flakes...) for breakfast.
6. Eat two tablespoons of peanut butter and maple syrup before breakfast every morning.
7. Eat a tablespoon of brown sugar followed by a glass of cold water.
8. Another great constipation remedy is the kiwi fruit. Kiwi fruits are very high in fiber and have even more vitamin C than oranges. Try eating a kiwi fruit as part of your breakfast every morning.
9. Add a tablespoon of apple cider vinegar in a glass of water twice a day a constipation remedy. This has also been known to help with bloating and nausea.
10. One of my favorite natural constipation remedies is pineapple juice. This is a great tasting way to releave constipation.

Remember that the best of all of these constipation remedies is proper diet and exercise.
