Constipation is a common disturbance of the digestive tract. In this condition, the bowels do not move regularly, or are not completely emptied when they move. The stools are unduly hard and unusual straining may be required to achieve defecation.

The most common symptoms of constipation are infrequency, irregularity or difficulty of elimination due to hard faecal matter.  Other symptoms may be  coated tongue, foul breath, loss of appetite, and constant fullness in the abdomen.

Natural home remedies for the treatment of Constipation.

 Here are some home remedies that may be used for the treatment of constipation.

1. Drink a glass of warm water early in the morning, walk around for a while, and then visit the toilet.
2. Eat a lot of raw salads and green vegetables. Drink plenty of water, but not immediately before or after a meal.
3. Drink a glassful of warm water with a spoonful of honey every night before going to sleep.  However, be aware that you might go to the bathroom often!
4. Have a glass of warm water with fresh lime in the morning.
5. A tablespoon of castor oil.
6. Spinach cooked with green onion stalks, are very good for clearing the bowels.
7. A teaspoonful of slightly roasted fennel, taken at bedtime with a glass of warm water, acts as a mild laxative.
8. Another gentle laxative is china grass.   Which is dried seaweed.  When it is cut into bits and cooked in milk becomes a gelatinous substance. It is used to make a milk custard-like pudding. While cooking, add sugar and flavoring to taste, and set. It makes a good vegetarian pudding and sets at room temperature.   It's not as "bad" as it sounds!
