Constipation occurs when there is infrequent bowel movement or difficulty passing stool. The frequency is variable in each person and therefore one can speak of constipation if less than three bowel movements are produced per week.
3 home remedies against constipation
Constipation causes hard stools, painful bowel movements, scanty stools, back pain, fatigue and tiredness, headaches, and a feeling of abdominal swelling. To put an end to this uncomfortable ailment, there are some home remedies that can come in handy. Take note!
1Raw vegetables
To put an end to constipation there is nothing better than having only a ‘crudités’ salad for dinner. The most effective is the one made up of lettuce, celery, carrot and raw cauliflower, all finely chopped and seasoned with a little olive oil. It is guaranteed that, the next day, your problem will be solved. If you don’t like raw vegetables, you can have them lightly sautéed in the pan or well blended. The laxative effect, however, will be similar.
2Olive oil
The virtues of olive oil are well known. In the past, grandmothers used it for practically everything and especially to fight constipation. If you take a tablespoon of cold-pressed olive oil daily and on an empty stomach, you will go to the bathroom like clockwork.
