200 Hours Yoga Teacher Training School in Rishikesh: Remedy for Constipation

Being constipated means bowel movements are tough and so elimination of solid wastes from the body becomes slow and inefficient.

It has been seen that everyone goes through it sooner or later.

The bowl movements vary widely from person to person. Some people evacuate the bowls two- three times a day. On the other hand, others do once or twice a week.

Going longer than 3 or more days without one is not widely accepted as normal. After 3 days, the stool or feces become harder and more difficult to pass.

Symptoms:

Fewer bowel movements
Difficulty in having a bowel movement (straining to go)
Hard or small stool
Swollen belly or belly pain
Throwing up

Home remedy for constipation

Drink more water

One of the causes of constipation is drinking the small amount of water.So it is important to drink enough water and stay hydrated.

Eat more fiber, especially soluble, non-fermentable fiber

Fiber works like a tool that helps to clean alimentary canal.Fiber scrubs food and waste particles from digestive tract. So when it is added to stool, muscles of GI tract have something to grab on to, so they can keep food moving along. We should eat 20 to 35 grams of fiber a day. Foods particularly high in fiber include bran cereals, beans, lentils, oatmeal, almonds, barley, many vegetables, and fresh and dried fruits.

Fiber intake helps to increase bowel movements.So it is easier to release the feces from the bowels.

Drink coffee, especially caffeinated coffee

Coffee stimulates the muscles of GI tract.So It can increase the urge to go to the washroom to evacuate the bowels.

Take senna, an herbal laxative

Senna which is herbal laxative , used to relieve constipation. We can take it orally or rectally.

It contains many plant compounds called glycosides, which stimulate the nerves in gut and speed up bowel movements.

It is safe to use Senna for short periods of time.Senna is not recommended to a pregnant woman, or to that person who has health complications.

Salt Water Flush

A salt water flush, also sometimes referred to as a “salt water cleanse” or a master cleanse. This cleanse our colon and digestive syste.

Salt itself is needed for many biochemical processes, including adrenal gland /thyroid gland function, cell wall stability, muscle contractions, nutrient absorption, nerve stimulation, pH, and water balance regulation.
