Why These Ingredients Work:
- Psyllium Husk: Absorbs water to create bulk, stimulating bowel movements.
- Chia & Flaxseeds: High in fiber and omega-3s, they soften stools and improve gut motility.
- Prunes/Fig: Sorbitol in prunes and figs acts as a natural laxative.
- Lemon Juice: Encourages hydration and may stimulate digestive enzymes.
- Honey: Has mild laxative properties and aids in easing throat irritation from psyllium.
Tips for Best Results:
- Hydrate: Drink at least 8–10 cups of water daily while using this remedy.
- Consistency: For chronic constipation, try this remedy 1–2 times daily until relief.
- Adjust Texture: If the mixture is too thick, add more water. For a thicker smoothie, blend with yogurt or kefir.
- Fiber First: Gradually increase fiber intake to avoid bloating. Start with ½ tbsp psyllium and work up.
When to See a Doctor:
While this remedy is safe for occasional use, consult a healthcare provider if:
- Constipation persists for more than a week.
- You experience severe abdominal pain, blood in stool, or unexplained weight loss.
- You’re pregnant, breastfeeding, or taking medications (to avoid interactions).
Other Natural Tips:
- Exercise: A 10–15 minute walk can kickstart digestion.
- Warm Baths: Relaxes the body and may ease bowel movements.
- Magnesium Supplements: Consider magnesium citrate (after consulting a doctor) for gentle relief.
