The pain can’t stop, it’s been there for a while and now another one is further appearing from the lower back. You don’t know how to describe the nausea but you are sure your stools are so hard and painful and if it’s soft, then it’s diarrhea.

This is best described to be constipation and it might go for days if you are inattentive to it. It’s normal to all human for quick a thought to go seek the doctors caring hand. I prove you wrong though, that your own caring hand can also say goodbye to the pains. So, you better learn the basic remedies that can be utilized to bring back your normal moods.

The most crucial and mostly advised by all food scientists is taking meals full of fiber. It functions as a remedy that softens stool and also reduces the number of days that fecal matter stays in the colon by half. The highest percentage of causes of constipation is having a diet low in fiber. High fiber foods include beans, whole grains, bran cereals, fresh fruits and vegetables such as asparagus, Brussels, sprouts, cabbage, and carrots.

If you still can’t accomplish that relief that is so demanding, fiber supplements also known as bulk forming laxatives, may be helpful when added to the diet. This can be bought from the pharmacy freely without medical prescription. They go by various brand names: Metamucil, fiberall, Citrucel, konsyl, serutan. Many they are but you are advised to fetch your fibers from foods. So get off that lazy born and go dig up the gold without any gloss.

Quick remedies that will be a great deal of not going to the hospital are basically traditional ones. Drinking lemon juice mixed with warm water two to three times a day eases the constipation effect; in fact water should be taken frequently as it softens the fecal material. Beverages like caffeine and alcohol should be avoided because they dehydrate the body, thus making constipation worse.

Regular physical exercises are important in maintaining proper and normal bowel movement. Try this by starting with simple house exercise like twisting the waist around, jumping around and even taking long walks.

Over the counter natural remedies are encouraged. For instance the Triphala –composed of three fruits namely Harada (haritiki), Amla (amalaki) and Behada (bidhitaki) combine the magical properties of both a purgative laxative and a lubricating laxative. It therefore provides the best colon cleansing effect. Also the psyllium husk derived from the Plantago ovate plant is a gentle household laxative for constipation.

Another good household remedy for constipation is honey or sugar. Add a little of it to a glass of milk and drink twice in a day. This can be accompanied by ½ cup of olive oil with ½ cup of orange juice to cure the constipation.

Try to always chew food thoroughly; making sure that every single bit will be digested. Reduce your appetite of food and eat only when you are hungry. Remember to also drink three teaspoonful of psyllium husk in milk or warm water before retiring to bed.
