Yoghurt
Yoghurt contains healthy probiotics that are essential for the functioning of the digestive system. Regular consumption of yoghurt helps enhance the good bacteria in our bodies and not only offers relief from constipation but also prevents it. You can eat a cup of yoghurt along with breakfast, and then as a snack later in the day.
Epsom salt
Epsom salt works as an effective home remedy for constipation as it draws water from its surroundings and softens the stool. It also contains magnesium, which helps contract the bowel muscles and facilitates the passage of digestive waste. Dissolve two teaspoons of Epsom salt in one cup of water or fruit juice, and drink it. Children should be given only half a teaspoon of Epsom salt.
