Lifestyle and fast
food are the main cause of constipation. The intestines suffer in conditions
where the diet is low in fiber, but rich in flour and starch, in sugar and
meat. Very few people realize the importance of intestinal hygiene. If not
removed in time, food debris, toxins and metabolic waste in the colon undergo a
prolonged fermentation and putrefaction process, being reabsorbed and
re-circulated. We are thus witnessing a latent intoxication of the body. Bloating
and gas, abdominal pain, lack of appetite, constipation, hemorrhoids appear on
this background.
The first
reaction is to stretch your hand after a laxative... Better go for home remedies
that actually cure constipation easily, fast and safe :
Food Fibers
* Start the day
with grain bran (wheat,
barley, oat), rich in fiber, associated with milk or yogurt. Make up a portion
to provide 10-15 grams of insoluble fiber. They absorb the liquid and they form
a bulky mass, which transits the digestive tract faster. If you are not used to
the fibers, reduce the portion by half to avoid bloating and stomach cramps. Increase
the amount progressively and drink plenty of water.
* Eat a lot of legumes (dried beans, lentils), fruits (dried
plums, figs and raisins soaked, fresh pears), dried nuts, whole grains (rye
bread or graham bread). All of these foods are good sources of soluble fiber.
* Flaxseeds - Not only are they rich in fiber,
they also contain Omega-3 fat, beneficial for digestion. Take a tablespoon of
flaxseeds (found in dietetic stores) twice a day. Mix them, in the morning, in
cereals, in apple sauce, or sprinkle them over yogurt. Before eating, they must
be ground through the coffee grinder. They can be kept in the refrigerator but
only for a few days. Equally good is linseed oil. Take one teaspoon in the
morning and one in the evening. Keep it in the dark because it rages slightly.
* Do not forget
to drink water! At least 2 liters a day,
as fiber consumption increases. They absorb a large amount of liquid, and in
the event of insufficient hydration, the seat becomes small in volume, hard and
painful.
* Mineral waters rich
in magnesium, have a remarkable effect on constipation. It is enough,
sometimes, to drink only 1 liter a day to solve the problem definitively.
Virtues of hot drinks
* Hot drinks stimulate
the intestine. Depending on the person (not everyone reacts the same way)
caffeine has opposite effects on constipation. It has a relaxing action on the
intestine and stimulates the colon, but it is also a diuretic that removes
fluids from the body. That's why we recommend drinking decaffeinated coffee.
* In the morning,
drink a cup of tea, a cup of warm water
with a little juice of lemon squeezed in it or a caffeine-free coffee. All
stimulates the colon (lemon juice is a natural laxative).
* Dandelion tea -
has a slightly laxative action and regulates intestinal transit. Infuse a
teaspoon of dried roots with a cup of boiling water. Drink three mugs a day.
Dried fruits
* Dried plums are
an ancient remedy used against constipation. Rich in fiber, they also contain a
natural laxative that stimulates intestinal contractions.
* Raisins - can successfully replace plums.
Equally rich in fiber, they contain tartaric acid, which exerts a laxative
effect. Following a study with people who consumed 50 grams of raisins a day,
doctors found that digested foods were passing twice faster through the
digestive tract.
Acupressure
Hand pressing on
acupuncture points stimulates digestion and thus intestine. Using the thumb and
index, click on the meeting point between the thumb and the index of the other
hand. Press two minutes daily, changing hands. According to specialists, the
procedure should not be used by pregnant women because it can cause abortion.
Chicory instead of coffee
In the morning,
instead of coffee, drink two cups of fresh chicory leaf infusion. It is more
effective and it is also indicated in diabetes. Infuse one teaspoon of the
plant into 500 ml of boiling water for 10 minutes. You should drink it in the
morning.
Nettle and milk
Boil young
nettles in milk. Stretch the leaves and drink the liquid every morning on the
empty stomach. Use 2 tablespoons of dried herbs and 250 ml of milk. Bring them
to boil, let them boil, then let them infuse for 5 minutes. Drink the milk as
warm as possible.
Infusion of crushed cloves
Smash 10 cloves,
add 4 tablespoons of warm water, and
allow them to warm up on the small flame for a minute. Pour over a cup of cold
water and allow the mixture to infuse for 15 minutes. Strain. Drink this liquid
every morning before breakfast.
Honey with hot water
Dissolve a spoon of
honey in a spoon of hot water. Then pour over a glass of warm water. Drink it
in the morning, on the empty stomach.
Cold water
Sebastian Kneipp,
the famous German therapist, advises two cold glasses of cold water in the
morning on the empty stomach. With this simple procedure he cured many people
who were suffering from constipation.
Wheat flour
Grind 30 grams of
wheat grains and boil it in 125 ml of water, along with a chopped onion and garlic.
When the wheat soaks, add a little chopped green parsley and a spoon of olive oil.
In the case of tedious constipation, add a pinch of flax seed. Take 3 teaspoons
of this treatment a day.
Red wine with basil
A handful of
basil leaves are to be soaked for three days in a liter of natural red wine.
When ready, add an equal amount of olive oil. Shake the bottle well. Take a
glass of liquor four times a day, at the beginning of each meal. It cures even severe
constipation!
Ricinus oil
In light cases,
take a spoon a day in the morning. In chronic cases, take 3-4 tablespoons a
day, on an empty stomach. Treatment is done for 2-3 days.
