Remedies for Constipation

Which laxatives are to be used in different cases of constipation?

A lot of times, while changing lifestyle and eating habits, especially while introducing new and raw greens, it is not uncommon to face constipation sometimes. The key is to identify what kind of discomfort you are facing and try out any of the following solutions accordingly.
Following are short term sos solutions. Long term solutions are about fixing metabolism components like stomach acid, microbiome, peristalsis movement, potassium and many more things.

As Sos try these. One at a time.

1. Isabgol/Psyllium husk: If you feel, you have issues right in formation of stool, because of lack of fibre intake, the immediate solution is to take isabgol with some water.

2. Triphala: If the stool is stuck to the walls, Triphala can work great in getting it together.

3. Castor oil: Castor oil really helps in case of hard stools or when you have issues in passing the stool, take a spoon of castor oil and drink warm water over it, you will have a good motion soon.

Also important to note, in the case of greens, since they are complex carbohydrates and take time to digest. Whenever you face digestive issues, it is good to look at your meals for the past 72 hours instead of only the previous day. Having fermented food also helps a lot in keeping the gut healthy.

For long term practice to prevent constipation: practice peristalsis movement, regular intake of ACV, water intake and optimum intake of potassium through green vegetables.

However, when you already are constipated, please avoid raw greens completely until you have better motions.
