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.

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.
