How to Use Olive Oil for Constipation
Olive oil is the safest and most comfortable solution for constipation. Unlike over the counter medications, it does not cause painful cramps when used continuously. In addition to curing constipation, olive oil prevents stomach ulcers, eases digestion, and promotes the proper absorption of food, which, in turn, improves metabolism. Like all health remedies, olive oil should only be taken in recommended amounts.
- Twice daily—once first thing in the morning on an empty stomach and once an hour before bed—swallow 1 tablespoon of pure, raw, extra virgin olive oil.
- If you forget to take it before your first meal in the morning, be sure to take it after you haven’t eaten for a while.
- Continue this regimen until your constipation is cured.
Also, make sure you take care of what kind of food you intake.
