🌿 The Power of Natural Ingredients
Nature provides several ingredients that can stimulate digestion, soften stool, and support gut health — without chemicals or side effects.
This simple mix relies on three powerhouse ingredients:
- Olive oil – Lubricates the intestines and helps move waste smoothly.
- Lemon juice – Acts as a natural digestive stimulant and mild detoxifier.
- Honey – Soothes the stomach and provides gentle sweetness while supporting gut bacteria.
🥄 The “One Spoonful” Constipation Remedy
Ingredients:
- 1 tablespoon extra virgin olive oil
- 1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice
- 1 teaspoon raw honey
(Optional: a pinch of chia seeds or flaxseed for added fiber.)
Instructions:
- In a small glass or bowl, whisk the olive oil, lemon juice, and honey until well combined.
- Take one spoonful first thing in the morning, on an empty stomach.
- Follow with a glass of warm water to help the mixture move through your system.
If your digestion has been particularly slow, you can repeat the dose later in the day — but most people feel results within a few hours.
🧠 Why It Works
Olive oil coats the intestinal walls, making it easier for stool to pass.
Lemon juice encourages the liver to produce bile, which supports digestion and helps break down fats.
Honey adds natural enzymes that promote healthy gut flora and reduce inflammation.
This combination gently stimulates the digestive tract without cramping or urgency — a big difference from many over-the-counter laxatives.
💡 Helpful Tips for Long-Term Relief
While this remedy is excellent for quick relief, lasting digestive health also depends on daily habits:
- Drink plenty of water. Aim for 6–8 glasses a day.
- Eat more fiber. Fresh fruits, vegetables, and whole grains keep things moving.
- Stay active. Even light exercise, like walking, helps the bowels function better.
- Reduce processed foods that can slow digestion.
