" SILENCE is the ultimate in letting go and letting be."
My mother used to say this, be silent after an argument. It is the best way to get your point across. It creates less confrontation. Silence is golden. Have patience with life. No matter what you do in life, the river of life will continue to flow. Flow with the stream, not against the stream.
I do not know one patient that has not been constipated at least once in their life. There are many causes. Perhaps you do not drink enough water. Maybe it is your DIET. Now there is a thought you might not consider or you did not consider but do not want to change to a DIETARY LIFESTYLE
Constipation in children is common due to their diet- too much white bread, candy and sweets
It is also common in adults whom do not drink enough water, take iron or are hypothyroid.
Laxatives for constipated adults, even herbal ones are generally too strong and do not taste well
For Adults
1. 1 cup of boiling water
2. 1/2 teaspoon licorice root
3. 1/4 teaspoon of ginger root or fennel seed
4. 1/4 cup of prune juice ( which is optional)
Pour the boiling water over the herbs and steep for 10 minutes
Strain out the herbs and then add the optional prune or apple juice
There is one more good remedy - elderberry jam is great for constipation. I prefer to combine it with wild flower honey. And when all fails, you can always have a cup of catnip tea.
Until tomorrow...
