Remedy Six: Senna Leaf Tea

Put 1-3 grams of Senna leaf in a mug and add hot water. Let steep for several minutes prior to drinking. One of the most potent, natural home remedies for constipation. Good for moving hard stools with signs of heat in the body, e.g. a red face, feeling hot, bad breath, dark yellowish urine. Senna leaf is a strong laxative and not recommended for long term use, though, or during pregnancy or period, or by those who are weak from illness or constitutionally weak.

Remedy Seven: Spinach Soup

As noted, above, in addition to taking home remedies for constipation relief you should try to discover and eliminate the cause of your constipation. Diet is usually the primary cause, i.e. excessive consumption of nutritionally dead foods such as white bread, cakes, cookies, pastries, candy, over cooked foods, over cooked meats and too many pasteurized dairy products like milk, all of which do little more than clog up your colon. The closer your food is to its natural state the more beneficial it is for you AND your colon!

Emotional stress is another common cause of constipation. Breathing exercises and acupressure are uncomplicated yet highly efficient ways to deal with stress, anxiety, negative emotions, nervousness and worry.
