How Do You Relieve Constipation?

Hydration ( for Peristalsis): By properly hydration the colon, you will promote regular peristalsis ( the natural wave-like motions that move food through your intestines)/ Drink plenty of water and use hydrating minerals such as magnesium hydroxide and gentle (laxative) herbs such as cape aloe and rhubarb to assist with natural bowel movements. Bulk: A healthy colon requires bulk in order to eliminate regulary, and fiber can help provide that bulk. Hoowever, many people do not consume enough fiber through diet alone. A flax-based fiber supplement is ideal for promoting 2 to 3 healthy daily bowel movements because it provides a bettr balance of soluble and insoluble fiber. Avoid fiber that could be binding, such as psyllium, as they can leave the colon dehydrated and in turn inhibit peristalsis. Lubrication: To achieve a healthy elimination schedule, it is critical to keep the colon lubricated. Beneficial oils such as fish oil, flax oil and borage oil are very effective in providing the necessary lubrication for smooth and gentle elimination. Maintain: Once you have achieved healthy bowel function, mainttain it with a daily maintenance formula that offers natural relief for occasional constipation.
