Home Remedies for Constipation.

Introduction:

Bowel movements can be especially tough when you are bloated and blocked, and yet straining over the toilet.

The causes of constipation may vary, but the end result is the same; discomfort and, at times, pain. Your diet and exercise regimen also plays a role in the function of your digestive system. While constipation can be both incidental and chronic, if you are visiting the toilet any less than 4 times a week, it is time to inform a doctor and take professional advice.

How to prevent constipation:

Fiber supplement

If constipation is caused by dehydration, a little fibre in the diet will be beneficial Foods like rice, whole grains, beans, oats, fruits, vegetables, are a few additions that you can make in your diet will go a long way in ameliorating constipation

Drink lots of water

Water helps avoiding constipation… It increases the water in the stool and pushes it through the digestive tract. Drink a minimum of 2 litres of water per day to reduce your chances of dehydration.

Take a natural laxative

There are some foods like prunes and apple that contain a lot of fibre.
Even psyllium husk or wheat or oat bran is useful in constipation

Osmotic laxatives

They directly affect the colon by retaining more water and increasing the frequency of movement. Some examples are polyethylene glycol, magnesium hydroxide, lactulose,

Exercise for constipation

Sometimes, a lack of exercise can lead to constipation. Not much is known about the mode of action, the popular theory is that it increases heart rate and leads to natural contractions of the gut muscles, thereby producing motions.

Enema or stool softeners

Enemas soften the stool enough to push it out of the body. However, before buying one, you must learn about the proper manner in which to administer an enema.  Stool softeners work like enemas and add moisture to the stool. They pull water from the intestine and reduce constipation.

Colonic Massage

A massage around the bloated area can provide relief. Also, they can stimulate motions.

Conclusion!

These were a few home remedies for constipation. Even if you cannot always avoid constipation, you can make sure to take enough precautions to ease up the symptoms. Eat enough fibre to increase the bulk of the stool. Prolonged use of laxatives can lead to constipation itself as once you drop your habit, your stool hardens in comparison and the gut transit time increases.
