Gentle Lemon Ginger Drink for Constipation

Constipation can leave you feeling uncomfortable, bloated, and sluggish. While viral posts often promote special drinks that supposedly “remove stuck stool” or “clean the colon,” there is no drink that can safely flush years of stool or toxins from the body overnight.

A simple homemade drink can, however, be a pleasant way to increase your fluid intake. This warm lemon, ginger, and prune drink combines fluids with prunes, which naturally contain fiber and sorbitol and may help support regular bowel movements.

🍋 Ingredients

  • 1 cup warm water
  • ½ cup prune juice
  • 1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice
  • ½ teaspoon freshly grated ginger
  • 1 teaspoon honey, optional
  • A few ice cubes if you prefer it chilled
