Do you suffer from constipation? Medical experts would give you several reasons why this happens. The most common causes of constipation include lack of exercise, excessive stress, age, medications, lack of fiber, water and other factors.
In more severe cases, constipation can also be a secondary symptom of another disease, so it is good to consult your condition with a doctor first.
In this article we will show you how to treat your body as gently as possible – start using a natural homemade laxative. The advantage is that compared to laxatives commonly available in pharmacies, these natural ones do not cause any dependence.
The composition of this homemade laxative is even known to relieve so-called hospital constipation. It works great and you just need to follow these simple instructions.
You will need the following ingredients:
- 150 grams of dates (amount corresponds to approx. 1 small cup)
- 150 grams of dried prunes
- 5 cups of boiling water (for a stronger effect use less)
Procedure:
- First you need to chop the dates and prunes into small pieces and add them to the boiling water.
- Then cook until the mixture thickens.
- You should take one tablespoon every day. You will see that this mixture will benefit you as well.
You can add this mixture in the morning to a glass of yogurt, a bowl of cereal or anything else.
Prunes contain a lot of fiber and also sorbitol. The natural sugar relieves constipation within a few hours.
Another method you can try is drinking the water from soaked dried prunes.
Leave them soaked in a glass of water overnight and drink it in the morning. Almost immediately the bowels get moving.
Be careful, a large amount may have a laxative (diarrheal) effect.
