There are many causes of constipation. Dehydration is one of the main ones. If your diet it high in sugar, coffee, alcohol, soft drinks and processed foods, and you don't drink 6 to 8 glasses of water a day, than you're likely to get dehydrated and constipated on a regular basis.
When to do the constipation cure
It is best to perform this process is in the morning, when your bowels would normally empty and before eating anything. However, if you have been constipated for a while, any time of day will do. Do not plan to leave the house for at least two hours from starting this process.
What to do
1. Get a measuring jug
2. Fill it to one quart (about 900 ml) with room temperature water (do not use cold or hot water).
3. Add two level teaspoons of sea salt (do not use iodized table salt) and mix well. Do not add anything else to the mixture.
4. Drink the entire water-salt mixture within 5-10 minutes.
Within about two hours one of two things will happen
• Nothing. If this is the case, you have been very dehydrated for quite a while and all the water has been used up by your body for its vital functions. Wait another hour or two and repeat the process.
• Your constipation will be cured. You will get diarrhea and spend an hour or two running to the bathroom until your bowels are empty.
Does it hurt?
Most people feel bloated after drinking all that water. This feeling is temporary and will disappear after you are no longer constipated. Some people get cramps which also disappear.
Why this constipation cure is better than any other
• This method to relieve constipation is non-toxic and non addictive, unlike laxatives.
• It works faster than prunes or any other foods, as you are never quite sure how much of these foods you need to eat to get relief.
• It is less messy and less painful than enemas.
Warnings
• Do not use this constipation treatment with children. They will need a much lower volume of water depending on their age and size.
• Do not use this constipation treatment if you are pregnant.
• If you have been constipated for many weeks, and this treatment does not give you relief after two attempts, seek medical advice, as your constipation may be caused by an obstruction.
