Raisins are an effective and healthy natural remedy to fight constipation. These easily available and affordable snacks are packed with large amounts of fibre, which plays a key role in relieving constipation and aids in digestion. This home remedy also works wonders in relieving stomach discomfort and constipation in children, pregnant women and old people.
How raisins work to relieve constipation
The presence of fibre in this dry fruit not only adds bulk to stools but also softens faeces, thereby making it easier to pass from the body. Known as kishmish in hindi, raisins also act as a powerful natural laxative that helps in easy and smooth bowel movement. This combined effect alleviates the symptoms of constipation without any stomach complications like pain, cramping or indigestion.
How to use it?
To attain quick relief from constipation, soak a handful of kishmish in a bowl of water overnight and eat them in the morning on an empty stomach. This not only acts as an effective natural remedy for constipation but also helps you stay healthy.
