5 Natural Home Remedies for Constipation

Constipation is a common disorder that is
rampant among the American populace.

Estimates have shown that over 3 million
people have constipation annually in the
United States.
As if that were not enough,
more than 2 million also suffer from
irritable bowel syndrome (IBS).

The causes of constipation are multifaceted.
However, there are varied methods in the
meantime that will result in some form of
relief for anyone who has got constipation.
For the purpose of this write-up, we’ll
focus a lot more on the natural home
remedies useful in constipation relief around us.

1. Drink water regularly.
At least 6 glasses of water a day
would be very great and therapeutic.
Large amounts of water aids quick
digestion and enables easier bowel movement.

2. Adding roasted black gram powder
to chapatti made of wheat including
the husks too can enhance constipation relief.

3. Molasses which have high calorie
content are also very good. Beware though
as it has a strong taste and you’ll want
to add fruit juice or milk to it when taking it.
All you really need is two tablespoonfuls
of blackstrap molasses just before sleeping at night.

4. Take half a cup of cabbage juice twice a day.
This is very effective in treating and curing constipation.

5. If you have got access to mango,
take one in the morning right after brushing
before breakfast, and one at night after dinner.
Mangoes are very effective bowel movers.
There is a sure guarantee that you’ll
have to “go” at least twice before nightfall.

6. Create a mixture of Spiegel seeds and warm milk.
This is done by dipping the Spiegel seeds (5-10g)
in warm milk (200g). To this, mixture, add sugar
and you have for yourself a highly
effective treatment method.

7. If you are suffering from chronic constipation,
take a drink of figs dipped in water in the morning.
If taken in copious amounts, you’ll definitely
find yourself reaching for the next available toilet.

8. if you want instant relief from constipation,
drink water that has been kept in a copper container
and has been left overnight.
It acts as a superb constipation relief.

9. Get half a glass of water and mix
one-quarter (¼) of Epsom salts with it for
fast constipation relief.

10. Also try pouring a whole sachet of
Andrew’s Liver Salt in a glass of water sand
gulp down immediately.
This will also produce a fast constipation relief.

Pcos And Fatigue

As a stay at home mother of two young, energetic boys I always thought that constantly being tired was just part of the job. By two o’clock each afternoon, all I wanted to do was get them to nap and lay down on the couch to regroup. Often, by the time I fell asleep, they were ready to get up so I was operating on automatic pilot, barely able to play with them outside, get their dinner on the table and do their baths before collapsing myself.

Then finally, after a conversation with my doctor, I realized that my constant and debilitating fatigue was not normal. Neither was my adult acne problem, hair loss and weight problem. My symptoms, I learned, were a result of a condition known as Polycystic Ovarian Syndrome or PCOS.

As it turns out, PCOS and fatigue are both linked to an imbalance of the endocrine system and are characterized by an excess of male hormones. Fatigue, a symptom commonly associated with PCOS, is also closely linked to the thyroid and adrenal glands. At the heart of both of these issues, however, is a disorder known as Insulin Resistance.

Insulin Resistance, a condition that vastly reduces the insulin sensitivity of cells, impairs the processing of glucose through the cell wall for conversion to energy. As a result, glucose remains in the blood stream, causing elevated blood sugar, which is sent to the liver. Once there, the sugar is converted into fat and stored via the blood stream throughout the body. This process can lead to weight gain and obesity, also key factors in women with PCOS.

Endometriosis - Diet And Nutrition Can Reduce Symptoms

Diet changes can help reduce the symptoms of endometriosis

Changing your diet to deal with Endometriosis is an excellent foundation to assist you in reducing the symptoms, and will help regenerate your health.

Adjusting what you eat can bring about many positive physical and metabolic changes, as well as improving our health. Many of you may be aware that various illnesses and diseases have responded very positively to changes in diet, and Endometriosis is no exception.

Some of the positive physical changes that take place when we change our diet, will at first not seem reliant on our food intake, but they are. For example, eating the right kinds of foods can:

~ sharpen our mental alertness
~ help us to stop feeling so sluggish
~ give us more energy
~ regulate sleep patterns
~ regulate bowel movements
~ balance blood sugar levels
~ regulate metabolism
~ regulate body weight
~ control hyperactivity - especially in children

We are very much a reflection of what we eat. When someone has a diet loaded in fats, the first place it will show up is in their complexion, with greasy, sallow skin. When we are constipated, an Iridologist (alternative health practitioner specializing in diagnosis using the iris of the eye) will immediately see this in the lack-lustre appearance of the eyes. With a lack of vital nutrients in our system, the body will eventually give you tell-tale signs.

The diet in modern day western society has become depleted of vital nutrients for many reasons. Intensive farming has robbed the soil of vital trace elements which used to be taken up by the crops as they grew, and in turn we consumed them. We rely so much on convenience foods now, which are very low in goodness. Much of our ‘fresh’ produce like fruit and vegetables is actually gassed and then stored in warehouses for months.

Many of us eat ‘fast food’, which is not very nutritious - the longer that food is left standing in a heated serving cabinet, the less nutritious value it has. People get lazy; they cannot be bothered to shop for valuable ingredients, yet alone cook good wholesome food anymore.

Scientists, health researchers and others have now found that the lower your food intake, with fewer calories and proteins, the longer you will live. We simply do not need the food intake that we have in the West.

What the body needs is a simple, balanced, preferably organic diet, which is prepared using fresh ingredients, and is viewed as our means of sustenance rather than being viewed as ‘something to stop us being hungry’. We do have many problems and issues surrounding food in the West, with anorexia, comfort eating, and many other eating disorders. Food is also used in many social situations, but this is no excuse for not being able to feed yourself with good food when you are at home.

Food is our fuel, it makes us function, grow, replace worn out cells, gives us energy, and feeds the entire body. Food is the secondary requirement to life, with oxygen being the first basic requirement. More important than food is our daily requirement for water. We need lots of it; plain, fresh water. Yet most people only drink a small proportion of what the body really needs.

But going back to food; it provides us with energy. The foods we take in include:

~ Carbohydrates, which provide the chief source of energy for bodily functions and muscular exertions
~ Fats which are the most concentrated form of energy. Three fatty acids are essential in the diet because the body cannot make them itself.
~ Proteins, which are the building blocks in food, the construction materials for growth and repair of cells
~ Fibre, indigestible parts of plants which provide roughage and aids digestion
~ Vitamins and minerals - the organic substances which the body cannot make, but which it requires in small amounts to maintain health

Controlled Diet for Endometriosis

Controlling your diet to help you deal with Endometriosis is an excellent starting point. As I have said earlier, we really are a reflection of what we eat, and the body responds very quickly to what is put inside it. Let me emphasize that point thus:

~ Look how radically altered we become by too much alcohol - which can happen very quickly
~ A Sumo wrestler is not born large - they eat themselves large
~ Body builders do build up their bodies with power/weight lifting, but they also use a high protein diet to back it up
~ Drink too much coffee and you have a caffeine rush
~ Travel to another area and you may get upset by the change in water consumption
~ When we are hungry, many of us suffer that awful drowsy blood sugar drop; eat something and we can pick up again very quickly

So the body is very sensitive to what is put in it, and sometimes that sensitivity is quick to show up. Unfortunately other sensitivities are not noticed and will creep up on us, which is when we suffer from dietary deficiencies and a lack of trace elements. There are times when our body gives us clues that we have a deficiency and we start to have cravings for certain types of foods.

The role of a controlled diet in Endometriosis management has proved exceedingly beneficial for many women. Some women have even been able to be totally symptom free with changes in diet. The plan of the endo diet is to relieve or prevent some of the disabling symptoms that occur with menstruation, as well as the general pain of endo. The goal is to decrease estrogen levels, stabilize hormones, increase energy, alleviate painful cramps and stabilize emotions.

Endometriosis is the second most common gynaecological condition affecting women.

Info About Endometriosis You Should Know by Shelley Ross

Endometriosis is a condition that can easily cause problems in a woman’s life and can have far reaching effects beyond the physical symptoms that is causes. As the cause of this condition is still largely unknown, any menstruating women can be diagnosed with endometriosis. Here is some info about endometriosis that you might find helpful in understanding what’s going on.

How Endometriosis Occurs:
Women during their reproductive years, usually between 25 and 40 years of age, are most vulnerable to having endometriosis. However, there are documented cases of affected individuals suffering from the condition as early as 11 years of age.
Endometriosis occurs when endometrial cells start growing outside the uterus. When this happens, the uterus and other parts of a woman’s reproductive system like the fallopian tube and the vagina can suffer from lesions and scars.
