Constipation: toptip

I once worked with an elderly gentleman, who had rheumatoid arthritis. He was being treated allopathically (conventionally), but he had suffered from chronic constipation for a number of years.

During the course of his consultation it came to light that he was taking 10 different drugs, daily, and 7 of them where to treat sides effects of the others! Naturally constipation is not good for the body: it is the way the body discharges toxins, so if you do not discharge the toxins the body will re-absorb them, putting those toxins back into the body and creating a toxic load for the body to deal with.

As he was not keen to come of off his drug combinations I used a simple ayurvedic remedy:

Equal weight sesame seeds and walnuts. Dry fried in a frying pan, till browned. Pestle and mortar the two seeds together until it forms a paste. Put into a clean jam jar. Take a teaspoon at night and keep in the fridge.
