8 Quick Remedies to Relieve Constipation

Drink fluids regularly: Have a glass of filtered water every hour, or enjoy sugar-free herbal teas such as chamomile, anise, lemon balm, mint, fennel, cinnamon, or wheatgrass juice.

Juice on an empty stomach: Combine 2 carrots, 1 apple, half a beet, 2 celery stalks, and a portion of melon or pear. Drink this first thing in the morning for optimal benefits.

Vitamin C and diet: Take a high dose of Vitamin C and avoid processed grains, including white flour and its products, as well as sugars and dairy.

Abdominal massage: To prevent waste from sticking to the intestinal walls and to aid bowel movement, perform an abdominal massage.

• Lie on your back with knees bent and feet flat on the floor or mattress.

• Start from the lower right side of the abdomen (appendix area) and move upward along the ascending colon, then across the transverse colon above the navel, and down along the descending colon on the left side.

• Press your fingers into the area, applying gentle pressure while making circular motions and coordinating with your breath.

• This movement follows the path of the colon, roughly shaped like the Hebrew letter 'ח'.

Chair twist: Sit on a chair with your hands resting on your knees. Twist your upper body to one side, placing your hands on the chair’s backrest. Hold for about 30 seconds, then switch to the other side.

Abdominal breathing: While lying on your back with knees bent, inhale through your nose, filling the abdomen. Exhale strongly through your mouth, pulling the abdomen inward and holding for a few seconds.

Physical exercise: Aerobic activity is essential for blood circulation, which supports bowel function. Sweating during exercise also helps the body release toxins through the skin.

Advanced cleansing methods: When necessary, enemas or hydro-colonic cleansing can be used. This method flushes the colon with water to clean the digestive system and is most effective when combined with dietary and lifestyle changes.
