In what cases should you use a laxative and what can you use to make a good laxative at home?
A laxative is a drug or prescription that will help cope with constipation of any complexity and nature. As a rule, this is a food with a “laxative” property or a drink. In some cases, oil, which is also drunk and facilitates the passage of feces through the intestines. “Home” recipes are gentle, sometimes they are quick and effective, sometimes not.
IMPORTANT: In any case, the effectiveness of a homemade laxative depends on how clogged the intestines were and how long it has been since you went to the toilet.
In what cases is it permissible to take “homemade” laxatives:
- Constipation in children. In order not to “stuff” the child’s body with synthetic drugs, you can try to improve the baby’s bowel movements using mild laxative recipes. The child will defecate easily and will not experience discomfort.
- Constipation in older people. The “aged” gut experiences many changes with age, including the loss of its natural functions. Intestinal peristalsis worsens, the microflora “weakens”. A proper diet and the inclusion of laxative recipes in it will help you not experience difficulties and have bowel movements regularly.
- Constipation in pregnant women. Pregnant women may find it difficult to go to the toilet as the fetus develops and puts pressure on the intestines. Many drugs are simply not allowed for pregnant women, and the only sure way to improve stool is to improve nutrition and take safe homemade laxative recipes.
- Acute constipation. They happen when a person eats something that disrupts or “slows down” his digestion process (so-called “fastening” foods: bread, pastry, rice, potatoes, black tea, chocolate and others). The right “homemade” laxative recipes will eliminate temporary constipation.
- Chronic constipation. Some people, due to the fact that their intestines initially suffer from impaired function, regularly suffer from constipation. In order not to take laxatives every day (this can only worsen the situation), you need to use “homemade” recipes and the stool will be constant.
- Prevention of constipation. If you are afraid that constipation may harm you or you have been eating unhealthy foods for a long time, you should regularly prevent constipation using home remedies.
- If you do not want to take pharmaceutical laxatives. In order not to harm yourself and not to provoke “addiction” to synthetic laxatives, you can improve your bowel movements with “homemade” recipes.
- To cleanse the body. Cleansing the intestines will help you speed up metabolic processes in the body, improve the absorption of nutrients from food, restore “good” microflora and even help you lose weight.
- To restore intestinal microflora. It is the intestinal microflora that is responsible for a good digestive process, regular bowel movements and strong human immunity.

how do they scratch, if you soak them, you get a porridge, softer than semolina. If they are not ground, then they probably “scratch”.

I suffer from terrible constipation due to nervousness. I’ve heard about the remedy dried apricots + prunes + rosehip syrup + raisins + senna = great intestinal cleansing. True, for two days now I’ve been eating dried apricots and prunes with tea instead of sweets, but there’s no point. And senna makes my stomach turn violently. So will this mixture have the same effect? otherwise it will get stuck and hurt
Castor oil has a good effect.
It depends on whom)) Uncooked smoked sausage helps me well in these matters. Prunes, figs. Herrings with sour cream)
Fuck this Senna. You take it in the evening, your stomach hurts at night, and by morning you’ll feel cramped. Buy suppositories with glycerin. You won't have time to get to the toilet
