The Natural Constipation Remedy That Actually Works Let’s talk about something we all experience — but rarely discuss. Constipation. It’s uncomfortable. It’s common. And for many, it’s a monthly or even daily struggle. But instead of reaching for harsh laxatives or expensive supplements, what if you could make a gentle, natural remedy at home — with just three simple ingredients? Say hello to the Prune & Date Power Paste — a sweet, syrupy, fiber-packed blend that gently gets things moving — often within hours. No shame. No fuss. Just relief. And yes… you might want to stay close to the bathroom after your first spoonful. Let’s dive into how to make this powerful, pantry-friendly remedy — and why it works so well. Why This Remedy Works: Nature’s Gentle Laxative This isn’t magic. It’s fiber, hydration, and nature’s own digestive helpers — working together. The Power of 3 Ingredients: Prunes (dried plums) Packed with fiber and sorbitol — a natural sugar alcohol that draws water into the colon and stimulates bowel movements Dates High in soluble fiber and natural sugars that soften stool and support gut motility Boiled water Hydrates the mixture and helps release nutrients ✅ Science says: Prunes are more effective than many over-the-counter laxatives for mild to moderate constipation (according to Alimentary Pharmacology & Therapeutics). And when combined with dates? They create a synergistic, gentle push — without cramping or urgency (usually). How to Make the Constipation Relief Paste Ingredients (Makes ~2 cups) Prunes 150g (about 20–25) No sugar added — pits removed Dates 150g (about 10–12) Medjool or Deglet Noor — pits removed Boiled water (cooled) SEE NEXT PAGE
