The Constipation Remedy

How To Relieve Constipation Naturally

Potassium and prunes are a natural constipation remedy that you can quickly use to help you get constipation relief.

Why Do We Need Potassium To Relieve Constipation?

Potassium is needed in your colon walls to insure that peristaltic action occurs. Without potassium, colon walls are weak and unable to respond and contract properly when fecal matter needs to be move.

Potassium in your colon wall tissues brings in more oxygen, which is required for good cell function and the elimination of toxins. In addition, potassium creates an alkaline environment inside and outside the cell, which helps protect cell walls from bacteria, fungus, and other pathogens.

Potassium is a powerful source when it comes to cleaning, feeding, and building your colon walls. Removing the thin layer of buildup – harden mucus, dried fecal matter, waste derby, heavy metals – against your colon wall can be accomplished by eating those foods that are high in potassium.

Excess buildup on your colon walls of fecal matter and toxins is a cause of continual constipation. This build-up prevents your colon walls from functioning properly.

Potassium is necessary for reducing anxiety and depression. These conditions can affect the peristaltic movements of your colon. Lack of it causes muscles and organs to sag and lack tone.

Potassium, also, draws water out of the body. So when potassium is in your colon it attracts water and pulls it into the fecal matter. This makes your fecal matter softer and easier to move along the colon.

To get more potassium into your diet make a constipation remedy drink by,

Pour hot water over dried prunes and waiting 10 minutes.
Eat the prunes and drink the juice

Do this on an empty stomach in the morning.

How Does This Remedy Work?

The high concentration of potassium and vitamin A, in prunes, stimulates enzymatic processes. These processes melt down fecal wall wastes and dissolve blockages. They also activate peristaltic action to move this waste out through your rectum.

The foods to eat that are high in potassium are:

Kale
cabbage
yellow tomatoes
spinach
carrots
broccoli
cucumbers
cauliflower
alfalfa sprouts
goat milk
sesame seeds
wheat germ brewers yeast
flaxseed
grapes
green peppers
pineapple
beets
potatoes with skin Blackstrap molasses

Precautions

If you have any kidney disease, do not take potassium supplements unless directed by your doctor.
Pregnant, only take potassium only under a doctor’s direction.
If you are on any type of medication do not take potassium unless directed by your doctor.

Conclusion

When you have constipation it is best to take a potassium supplement. Once you have your constipation eliminated back off on the potassium you are taking and depend on your potassium dose from the foods you eat.

My recommended Potassium dose is 1000 – 3000 mg each day taken with meals.
