Is Lemon Juice An Effective Remedy For Constipation?
Lemon Juice For Constipation Relief
The uncomfortable effects of
constipation have plagued humans for millennia, and it seems that all through
history, countless remedies and tonics have been made to ease constipation from
Senna pods and aloe to dandelion tea and herbal infusions. Another time honored
remedy to treat constipation is honey and lemon juice.
Step 1
Select a few smaller, nearly
ripe lemons from the produce aisle. Look for a bright waxy peel and clean
citrus smell. Lemons are a natural disinfectant and eating them greatly
improves your overall health as well as helps to maintain healthy immune
function and healthy digestive function in the body.
Step 2
Consider buying locally farmed
and harvested honey made from wildflowers or clover. Honey is a proven,
powerful antioxidant and eating honey native to your region also helps to
alleviate symptoms from environmental allergens and irritants. Check local
farmer's markets or specialty grocery stores in your area to find locally made
honey. Or, buy clover honey from your local grocery store.

Drink a cup of warm water or
herbal tea mixed with fresh lemon juice and honey every morning on an empty

and around three tablespoons of honey for each cup that you make.
Step 4
Continue taking this honey and
lemon juice natural remedy for at least a week. This natural laxative should
have you regular again in no time, and then keep drinking it to help maintain your
overall health for a lifetime.
