Did you know that EO's can help get things moving again?
Here are some suggestions to try if you get to this uncomfortable place:
- A cup of hot water with 2 tsp. honey, 1 drop of ginger essential oil and 1 drop of fennel essential oil. Sip slowly, wait for 10 min. and then massage this blend of Rosemary, Ginger, Patchouli, and Fennel in 2 tsp. of coconut oil clockwise over the stomach, hips, lower back, and down the spine to just above the anus. (From Valerie Ann Worwood's Complete Book of Essential Oils and Aromatherapy).
- Massage as an alternate blend to the one above....Patchouli, Black Pepper, and Fennel in 2 tsp. coconut oil.
- Put a heating pad to your backside as you sit or lie down.
And, if you know you'll be at risk of sluggish bowels or constipation due to traveling or whatever else may cause this to happen for you, then be sure to take a proactive approach:
- Drink plenty of water.
- Lay off the sodas.
- Get plenty of greens, fruits--especially dried, and fiber in your diet.
- And get up and moooove!
It might also be a good idea to keep this blend made up "just in case" you slooooow down.
