If you often struggle to go to the bathroom, you’re not alone.
When it comes to digestive issues, chronic constipation is one of the most common problems.
In fact, it’s estimated to affect up to27 percentof the North American population!
Besides being unhealthy, constipation is uncomfortable, frustrating, and stressful to deal with.
Believe me, I know the feeling well I dealt with chronic constipation for years.
Over-the-counter laxatives may ease the symptoms for a while but they won’t treat the root cause.
I added more greens in since I had always associated leafy vegetables with being helpful with bowel movements.
But the greens only made the constipation worse.
I didnt realize that all the emotional stress I was experiencing was literally backing me up.
So to make it have total healing, both the physical and the emotional areas need to be addressed.
Over-the-counter laxatives may ease the symptoms for a while but they won’t treat the root cause of constipation.
Here are the five natural methods I used to cure my constipation for good:
1.
I started listening to my body.
Of course, in most cases, greens are amazing!
But they simply don’t work for my digestive system.
This is what I mean when I say, Listen toyourbody.
What works foryourbody may be completely different from that of a family member or friend.
I hydrated like it was my job.
It’s no secret that water is one of the keys to overall health and well-being.
But it’s especially the case when it comes to moving waste out of your body.
I like to use the analogy of a dirty dish that has dried food stuck on it.
When the dish is submerged into water, the food particles slowly start loosening up and coming off.
It’s the same thing with your digestive system.
Staying hydrated and drinking the proper amount of water for your body iskeyto avoiding constipation.
It’s something it’s crucial that you figure out by listening to your body.
Experiment and see what amount has you eliminating more and feeling your best.
I got regular massages.
A good abdominal massage by a licensed professional, in conjunction with drinking water, can be very effective.
I loaded up on olive oil.
Olive oil hastraditionallybeen used to treat constipation, and some recentresearchalso suggests that it can be helpful.
I evaluated my emotions.
Maybe something you’re not in communication about that you oughta be?
Are you silently stuffing your emotions or even denying that they exist?
