Constipation isn’t just inconvenient. It can make your whole life feel like you’re running on a half-empty battery. You’re tired, cranky, AND full.
What actually works. Increase your water or 1 cup of smooth move tea or triphala ?
Psyllium absorbs liquid in your intestines, swells up, and forms a bulky stool that’s easier to pass. It’s not glamorous, but it works Research with over 1,200 people found that fiber supplementation—especially psyllium—improved constipation. Higher doses (more than 10 grams daily) and longer use (at least 4 weeks) worked better
I rather try an easier way I take flax seeds. Flaxseed contains fiber that helps keep bowel movements regular. In a 12-week study with people who had diabetes and constipation, eating 10 grams of ground flaxseed twice daily significantly improved their symptoms with no side effects Add ground flaxseed to yogurt, oatmeal, or granola
I find one of the best herbs for constipation is Ginger. It is ant inflammatory and helps. Ginger mainly helps your stomach empty faster rather than directly treating constipation. But if you have that “everything is sitting like a brick” feeling, ginger addresses the front end of the problem. In a study with 24 people, ginger reduced stomach emptying time and increased stomach contractions compared to placebo
I assure you one of these treatments will work.
Until tomorrow …
