A Master Cleanse

Ingredients:

1 8oz. Glass


Method:


1. Mix this husk in water / your favorite juice / milk / yogurt, and drink it immediately.


Its an oral consumption anyone above the age 12 can consume phylum husk. For kids follow all the natural remedies given below, before trying  Konsyl (phylum husk) for Kids. Follow instruction on label. 


Apart from this remedy,in this article, there are other few natural remedies to cure constipation.


1.) Eat a lot of Fruits: A major cause of constipation is lack of dietary fiber in us. This can be easily offset by the inclusion of fruits to your diet on a daily basis. Fruits contain a lot of fiber along with distilled water and are easy to digest. The best fruits that can help relieve constipation include apples, bananas, papayas, avocados, pineapples, plums, mangoes, figs and grapes. Include generous portions of at least some of these fruits in your daily diet. 


2.) Eating nuts: Almonds, dried apricots, dates, raisins, prunes and walnuts are excellent sources of fiber and are delicious to eat as well. All of these nuts are readily available. Just make sure you do not over stuff as these nuts have a lot of calories.


3.) Less meat, more veggies: One of the easiest ways to get your system back on track is to reduce the intake of meat substitutes it with veggies, leafy green vegetables, to be precise. The green leafy vegetables have a huge fiber content that can easily help to relieve constipation. Parsley, turnip, olives, soybeans must all work great.


4.) Avoid Junk Foods & Dairy: Try and completely avoid processed foods / junk foods and reduce consumption of dairy products. This includes milk, butter, cheese and all the other fat-rich dairy products.


5.) Drink lots of water: One of the main factors responsible for constipation is the lack of water in your system. Drinking large amounts of water at any one point and not drink anything after is not the solution. Make it a habit to drink water on a regular basis through out the day. Keep a note on your desk or any place you frequent reminiscent of drinking water. Remember that soft drinks, tea or coffee is not a substitute for water.


6.) Juice it Up: A great way to keep you well hydrated and receive the essential nutrients and minerals, at the same time, is to drink natural fruit juices. If you do not have one, get a juicing machine and make it a point to prepare the juice into your home and do not use any packaged beverage. If you are not even that, try to buy readymade organic juices and not made from concentrate. Some of the best juices to relieve constipation include prune juice, pear juice, apple juice and asparagus. 


7.) Handy Herbs: There are many herbs readily available in the market that can work wonders for people suffering from constipation. This includes phylum husk, flaxseed. Most of these contain a large amount of fiber and essential fatty acids. They can help relieve constipation and also toxins from the gut. Just make sure to drink plenty of water if you are using any of these herbs to be effective.


To sum up what you need to get free of constipation is a healthy lifestyle with a diet rich in fiber, food intake at scheduled times, drink lots of water and fresh fruit juices, reducing consumption and, ultimately, reduction in junk food consumption of meat and dairy products.

This article is for general information only and should not be taken as medical advice. Consult your medical doctor to see if this will work for you.
Laxatives may be habit-forming if they are used too often or for too long. This can lead to damage of intestinal nerves or muscle tissues. Do not take psyllium for longer than directed on the label or prescribed by your doctor.


In my personal opinion, never ever take chemical laxatives that are available over the counter. It may give you quick relief, but Ayurvedic medicines like Isabgol is safe and has minimal or no side effects and are not habit forming and instead of just avoiding the symptoms, Isabgol regulates your digestion and really helps to cure constipation problems. Isabgol can usually be bought from your local health store or any Indian grocery store.
