The human body is a miraculous piece of machinery. Food that tastes really good and provides not only nourishment but comfort can be put into the mouth, chewed, and swallowed. The food is then processed without any help from the human. The digestion process begins in the mouth and continues through the body. Nutrients are extracted from the food and used by all of the internal organs as well as the skin and keep the human body healthy and well-functioning. Once all of the nutrients and energy has been extracted from the food, the waste is expelled by the body as feces and urine. It's a wonderful but very complicated process, and there are a hundred things that can go wrong. The miracle is that these hundreds of things don't go wrong more often. One of the most common problems that happens in this digestion process is that the waste isn't disposed of in a timely manner, we become constipated. The portion of the food that was consumed that the body can't use isnt expelled easily. There are a lot of home remedies that have been around for many centuries that address the problem of constipation. Eating foods that will promote bowel movements, like prunes or figs, is the most common of all home remedies. Exercise has been proven to be a very effective home remedy for curing the problem of constipation as well. Just a walk after a meal will sometimes produce the desired results. There are, of course, multiple herbs that have been used through the years to treat the problem of constipation. Among these herbs are aloe vera juice, senna, rhubarb (medicinal), cascara sagrada, dandelion root, and plantain seeds.
