Using Rhubarb for Constipation Relief
Overview
Rhubarb is a fantastic home remedy for constipation, thanks to its high mineral and fiber content. Discover how it can help and what other vegetables can do for constipation relief.
The Power of Vegetables
Vegetables, much like fruits, are packed with fiber, antioxidants, vitamins, and minerals?"all of which have healing properties. Certain vegetables and their juices can stimulate the colon, promoting more regular activity.
Why Juices?
Vegetable juices are quickly absorbed into the bloodstream, delivering essential nutrients while flushing out waste. They can offer quick relief from issues like constipation by cleansing the colon and promoting peristaltic action.
Regular consumption of vegetables and their juices can build and maintain healthy blood, tissues, bones, and cells. They help maintain the body’s pH balance, keeping it alkaline by neutralizing acids. This supports healthy colon function, preventing constipation.
Keep in Mind
Some natural remedies may involve vegetable juices that are quite bitter. While not always pleasant, these juices are meant to address constipation, not for enjoyment. Find the ones you like and incorporate them into your routine.
Rhubarb: A Natural Laxative
James A. Duke, PhD, in "The Green Pharmacy," suggests using rhubarb for constipation due to its potent laxative properties. Here’s a simple recipe:
Rhubarb Recipe
- Use three stalks of rhubarb (without leaves)
- 1 cup of fresh apple juice
- One quart of peeled lemons
- 1 tablespoon of honey or maple syrup
Blend these ingredients into a tart drink and consume one glass three times a day to aid constipation.
Alternative Recipe
- Three stalks of rhubarb
- One peeled lemon
- A teaspoon of maple syrup
- ½ cup of fresh organic apple juice
Adjust the syrup to taste, ensuring the drink is palatable. Avoid rhubarb leaves, as they are toxic.
Important Considerations
- Always use rhubarb raw. It contains oxalic acid, which becomes harmful when cooked, forming crystals that could affect the kidneys.
- If you have arthritis or gout, you should avoid using rhubarb.
