Here’s a constipation remedy for chronic constipation. In addition to drinking apple juice, prune juice can help accelerate your peristaltic action.

Instructions:

With a juicer, make fresh apple juice and drink 3-4 glasses a day. You can also drink store-bought apple juice. Do try to get fresh squeezed and not the type that has been flash pasteurized or pasteurized. If you can find fresh apple juice then use flash pasteurized.

Apple juice that comes in glass containers are best. Do get these if possible. Plastic containers are processed using solvents that stay in the container walls and these will gradually outgas into the apple juice. This out gassing is more severe when plastic containers are stored in hot places.

Take the following combination first thing in the morning before you have breakfast to speed up the laxative effects of apple juice:

Drink 2-3 cups of prune juice.
After ½ hour, drink one cup of apple juice
Then, 1-hour later drink another cup of apple juice.

After you drink your prune juice and your first glass of apple juice, be prepared to head for the bathroom. Prune juice on its own is good for constipation. It is a safe, gentle and an effective laxative. Drink a cup in the morning and a cup in the evening. Prune juice contain the substance dihydrophenylisatin, which is responsible for the laxative action. Prunes are also high in iron and are a great supplement if you are anemic or low on iron.
