Self Care Tips For Constipation
Based on our experience of treating a large number of cases of chronic constipation successfully with homeopathy, we have observed that following certain diet and regimen tips goes a long way in management of this condition. At Harmony Homoeopathy, we have repeatedly verified these clinical tips and found them to be useful in most cases:
Include plenty of vegetables, salads and fruits in your diet
Chew your food properly; do not swallow food in a hurry
Drink at least 6-8 glasses of water daily
Eat only when hungry
Avoid overeating and eating between meals
Replacing polished rice with unpolished rice and white bread with brown bread is very useful for those suffering from habitual constipation
Regular exercise helps in maintaining good bowel health
Avoid over-the-counter laxatives because long-term intake of these may damage the lining of the bowels and injure nerve endings in the colon
Preferably go to the toilet at the same time every day to ensure regular bowel movements
A glass of warm milk before sleeping helps in relieving constipation
