Turmeric, Ginger, Coconut Milk Cocktail

With more than 100 million Americans experiencing digestive problems, most people know that  heartburn, bloating, constipation and gas are signs that something is amiss with their intestinal health..

Fortunately, there are ways to help treat these digestive issues naturally. Below the benefits of turmeric milk are discussed as a bedtime drink and a recipe is given for an anti-inflammatory bedtime beverage based on coconut and turmeric. This drink can improve digestion and avoid nighttime heartburn and reflux.

Turmeric. Curcumin stimulates the gallbladder to produce bile, which some people think may help improve digestion. The German Commission E, which determines which herbs can be safely prescribed in Germany, has approved turmeric for digestive problems. And one double-blind, placebo-controlled study found that turmeric reduced symptoms of bloating and gas in people suffering from indigestion.

Ginger has a long history of use for relieving digestive problems such as nausea, loss of appetite, motion sickness and pain.

Coconut milk. If you’re struggling with constipation, getting more fiber in your diet may help. One cup of raw coconut milk has 5 grams of fiber. It is also used as a laxative. It can also be a remedy for urinary and kidney problems.

Raw honey contains over 5000 enzymes including amylase, a digestive enzyme for carbohydrates. The benefit of ingesting naturally occurring enzymes such as amylase is that it reduces the burden on the body to produce these enzymes itself to digest the food.

How to make this drink?

Ingredients

-1 teaspoon of turmeric

-2 cups coconut milk

-1 piece of ginger root or 1 teaspoon of ginger powder

-1 tablespoon of honey

-¼ teaspoon of black pepper.

Instructions

Take a bowl and add all the ingredients, except the honey. Mix them well. After that, pour the mixture into a saucepan and heat until it starts to bowl. Cook on low heat for 5 minutes. Let it cool a little bit, add the honey and drink while it’s still warm. Your drink is ready!

The drink is very simple to prepare it and solves many problems with stomach, bad breath.

Recommended to drink it one hour before you go to sleep, and you will wake up refreshed and full with energy!

Constipation Remedies

Constipation Remedies

Here is a list of remedies for constipation. The best on this list is Grandma’s Power Pudding which was told to me by an old time medical doctor in Atlanta in 1973.

I also like Blackstrap Molasses because it is loaded with minerals especially iron and magnesium

Grandma’s Power Pudding

  • 1 cup applesauce
  • 3/4 cup prune juice
  • 1 cup of unprocessed wheat bran

Mix together in a small storage container; applesauce, prune juice and wheat bran until it forms a pasty pudding. Take one tablespoon every morning followed by a full glass of water. Drink some water throughout the day.

Blackstrap Molasses

One tablespoon of blackstrap molasses before bed should help ease your constipation by morning. Blackstrap molasses is boiled and concentrated three times, so it has significant vitamins and minerals; magnesium in particular will help relieve your constipation

Mint or Ginger Tea

Mint and ginger are both proven home remedies to help alleviate a slew of digestive problems. Peppermint contains menthol, which has an antispasmodic effect that relaxes the muscles of the digestive tract. Ginger is a “warming” herb that causes the inside of the body to generate more heat; herbalists say this can help speed up sluggish digestion. In tea, the hot water will also stimulate digestion and help relieve constipation. Dandelion tea is also a gentle laxative/detoxifier.

Lemon Water

The citric acid in lemon juice acts as a stimulant to your digestive system and can help flush toxins from your body. Squeeze fresh lemon juice into a glass of water every morning, or add lemon to tea; you may find that the refreshingly tart water not only acts as a natural remedy to your constipation but also that it helps you drink more water throughout the day

Raisins

High in fiber, raisins also contain tartaric acid, which has a laxative effect. In one study, doctors determined that panelists who ate 4 1/2 ounces of raisins (one small box) per day had their digested food make it through the digestive track in half the time it took other subjects who did not. Cherries and apricots are also rich in fiber and can help kick your constipation. Eat these fruits with a bowl of yogurt for the added benefits of gut-soothing probiotics.

Prunes

These fiber-rich fruits are a go-to home remedy for getting your digestion back on track. Three prunes have 3 grams of fiber, and they also contain a compound that triggers the intestinal contraction that makes you want to go. Another great dried fruit choice is figs, which may not cause as much bloating as prunes.

**Mix half a glass of prune juice with half a glass of oat milk. Drinking this before you eat or drink anything else in the mornings will help you get rid of constipation for good.

Even having prune juice all by itself can treat constipation easily. Take a glass in the morning and one in the evening while you are suffering from constipation and reduce this intake to half a glass twice a day for maintaining good colon health and avoiding constipation permanently.

Castor Oil

This home remedy for constipation has been handed down for generations. One of the primary uses for castor oil is as a laxative; take 1 to 2 teaspoons on an empty stomach and you should see results in about 8 hours. Why? A component in the oil breaks down into a substance that stimulates your large and small intestines.

Note #1: This information is for those who know they have chronic constipation not related to a specific pathology such as colon cancer or thyroid problems with T4 a & T3

Note # 2: Exercise such as walking and definitely Yoga can be beneficial as well
