Natural Ways to Get Constipation Relief

Looking for other ways to get constipation relief because you’re sick and tired of taking OTC laxatives? Laxatives offer quick-fix constipation relief, but sometimes the side effects and long-term damage may be more than we bargained for. That’s why laxatives should really be a last resort.

Following are some 100%-natural ways to get constipation relief.

• Make it a habit to quietly sit for 15 minutes after a meal to aid your digestive process.
• Make it a habit to spend 5 to 10 minutes on the toilet each morning. Don’t worry if you aren’t able to stool. Don’t push or force it. Just sitting on the throne can stimulate your digestive system, and eventually offer constipation relief. Do not read, just relax.
• Revive your inborn bowel movement reflex. Humans are born with the reflex to pass bowels a short time after a meal (note how babies do this naturally). Revive your natural reflex by selecting a regular time after a daily meal to stool.
