When ya gotta go, ya gotta go. But what if you can’t? Unburden yourself with these tried and true natural remedies, which really get things moving.

Step 1: Try an acupressure trick
Try this acupressure trick: Hold your hands up, palms toward you, and tap the sides of your hands against each other. Then, cross your arms in front of you like a genie, so that your palms rest on your elbows and tap that area. Alternate tapping the two points for five to 10 minutes. This helps induce a bowel movement by stimulating your colon.

Step 2: Strike a pose
Try yoga: the shoulder-stand pose and wind-relieving pose both move the stomach and intestines in directions that can help food pass through the body. Find video instructions on Howcast.com.

Step 3: Eat rhubarb
Eat rhubarb, which contains anthraquinone, a compound that has a laxative effect.

Step 4: Avoid foods that can constipate you further
Avoid foods that can constipate you further, like sugar and sweets; white bread, white rice, cheese, and hard-boiled eggs.

Step 5: Take flaxseed
Take one table

spoon of ground flaxseed two or three times a day with at least 8 ounces of water.

Step 6: Raise your knees
When the urge hits and you’re on the toilet, help move things along by lifting your legs off the floor so that your knees are higher than your bottom. This simulates a squat, the ideal position for moving your bowels.

Tip
Putting your feet on a stool makes this more comfortable.

Step 7: Prevent future bouts
Prevent future bouts by drinking more water, eating more fiber-rich foods, and getting enough exercise. Too little of any of these can cause constipation.

Did You Know?
Famous Greek physician Hippocrates believed that eating garlic every day prevented constipation.

Tao Scott says:

The animation shows the character eating rhubarb leaves with the stalk! ..
Rhubarb leaves are poisonous.

Taken from Wikipedia:
“Rhubarb leaves contain poisonous substances, including oxalic acid, which
is a nephrotoxic and corrosive acid that is present in many plants. Humans
have been poisoned after ingesting the leaves. Such poisoning was a
particular problem in World War I, when the leaves were recommended as a
food source in Britain.”

Andreas Papacosta says:

Easy and very healthy way to activate your bowel. Take one gram of
magnesium hydroxide 2-3 nights in a row. Thereafter 500mg every evening.
Magnesium is the healthiest mineral on earth and guaranties eternal
health!!

Ishbu101 says:

Acupressure is the stupidest, most fake concept ever. Indian and Chinese
medicine is complete quackery. You should go with eating more veggies,
fruits, drinking water and plenty of exercise. There is no other healthy
solution

Benjamin Franklin says:

Anal always helps.

Mahesh Patro says:

Friends, in ayurveda there are wonderful medicines which can cure if you
have constipation. google triphala ( Amalaki (Emblica officinalis),
Bibhitaki (Terminalia bellirica), and Haritaki (Terminalia chebula)).
Check wikipedia too.

Now what you have to do is, you have to get the whole (not the powder or
tablet). crack them and throw away the seeds. Everyday around 3 PM 1 of
each quantity soak in a cup of water (300ml) and then next day morning as
soon as you wake up pour the water and drink it.

It may cure Piles, fistula if properly followed with good food (no oily,
cheese, cook, cofee, tea and food with rich fiber)

Or just buy some coconut oil and eat it, then swallow and you’ll be in the
bathroom in a second! Also it will clear any poop that was still in your

will get you white shiny teeth in no time.

Geometry Dash Rusty says:

When you have to go, you have to go! But what if you can’t? *looks at ass*
1. Tap your palms together and put your hands on your 2 or 3 jointed
f*cking elbows and tap them for 5-10 minutes. This will make you sh*t
easier. 2. Do yoga poses like you don’t f*cking care! 3. Eat rhubarb
because it’s a f*cking leaf! 4. Don’t eat foods that can make you sh*t out
your intestines. 5. Eat a tablespoon of flaxseed and drink 8 oz. of water
so that you f*ck yourself up! 6. When the urge hits, sit on the goddamn
toilet and lift your knees higher than your asshole!
