Lemon water: Half a lime squeezed in a glass of hot water with ½ tsp of salt is a very effective remedy for constipation. Have it early in the morning even before your mandatory cuppa tea or coffee to regularize the bowel movements.

5.Fennel seeds(saunf): Fennel seeds are well known for their digestive properties. Fennel Tea To Relieve Constipationis a decoction made by boiling fennel seeds in water is a great laxative. Fennel, which is commonly had after meals to improve digestion, is aromatic and has a carminative effect in the intestine.

The seeds have a high content of essential oil, which steeps in the water while making the decoction and helps to aid digestion. It relieves constipation and helps reduce flatulence by not allowing undigested food to remain in the colon for a long time. Crush the fennel seeds with a mortar and pestle for best results.

Instead of regular upma try quinoa veg upma recipe. we love oatmeal almond milk with apples as a high fibre breakfast as it is a meal by itself.

7. Drink plenty of fluids (at least 6 to 8 glasses every day) as this softens the stools making them easier to pass.

8.Papaya: Papaya is another effective laxative. Have a cup of chopped papaya with breakfast every day to stimulate bowel movements and see How Papaya Relieves Constipation. It contains a digestive enzyme called papain, which helps to relieve constipation.

The fruit’s high water andfibrecontent also help by adding bulk to the faeces and enabling it to pass the digestive tract faster.
