Constipation can be alleviated naturally in the short term with some simple home remedies. A couple of glasses of grape or prune juice before going to bed should provide relief for constipation by morning in most cases of temporary symptoms. Another home remedy is to add a half glass of orange juice to a half cup of olive oil and drink in the morning; you should have a movement before retiring for the evening.
There are hundreds of home remedies that supposedly provide relief for constipation. Most of them will indeed provide short term relief for constipation and help soften stool or stimulate a bowel movement. However, especially in men, frequent to chronic constipation can be a sign of colon cancer. It is vital to consult with your physician whenever constipation lasts for more than a couple of days past your normal bowel movement or when short term constipation starts becoming an issue more and more frequently.
Any constipation problem means that waste, toxins, and harmful bacteria are backing up in your digestive tract. If the waste is not removed with a bowel movement in a timely manner, the toxins and bacteria will actually re-enter the blood stream. Long term constipation can lead to such severe bowel blockages that the entire body becomes flooded with bacteria and infection; septicemia is the result and it will lead to death unless doctors are able to get the bacteria under control.
