Persons, who have pain and tenesmus while passing stools, should take 1-2 tea spoon of castor oil with hot milk at night before retiring to bed. It is simply a matter of individual suitability; hence the patient has to see which ingredient suits him best. Some persons prefer to take lemon juice in hot water-I-2 hours before anticipated time of visiting the closet.
Dietary Guidlines for Constipation
Milk and milk products, green and leafty vegetables like mustard, spinach, salads and vegetables having fairly large amount of pulp like turnip. Torai, etc should be consumed in plenty. Develop the habit of using lemon juice in water or cooked vegetables. Whey, curd, butter, butter milk, cream, cheese are also useful. Wheat black gram, maize/com, millet, barley should not be divested from brain/roughage. Those who have penchant for white bread are chronic victims of constipation.
Secondly, get up and sleep at a fixed time and do not disturb your schedule. Late night keeping and getting up late is another cause of this malady. During day time, have a glass of Orange or pomegranate juice-1-2 hours prior to taking lunch.
Aloe Vera and Constipation
To sterilize the water, boil it and then cool it. Peel the aloe vera. Put the green peelings and the water in a closed jar. (The juice is not the part used for a laxative; it’s the sap between the skin and the pulp.) Place in the refrigerator and drink 1 cup twice a week to regulate bowels. The strength is determined by the amount of aloe vera placed in the water. Start with several leaves, and add until desired strength is reached.
Natural Constipation Remedies with Castor Oil
Soak a flannel cloth in warm castor oil and pour the oil over the cloth, then place it in the oven until warmed through. Place on the small of the back and cover to keep warm. Keep on at least 15 minutes. Do once a day until bowels have moved satisfactorily. This works quickly. Do not use on someone who is in a weakened condition.
