Aloe vera
The aloe vera plant contains many compounds beneficial to intestinal health. Its juice can be taken internally or applied topically. It has been used for thousands of years to treat wounds, burns, cuts, sunburns, skin conditions, digestive disorders and more.

It is also known to have anti-inflammatory properties that may help with IBS symptoms. A study published in the Journal of Ethnopharmacology found that it was effective in reducing inflammation in mice suffering from colitis.

Apple Pectin
Pectin is a soluble fiber that helps maintain regularity by retaining water in the intestines. It is found naturally in apples, pears, citrus fruits, beans, peas and other foods.

A study published in the American Journal of Clinical Nutrition showed that people who ate more than 2 grams per day had lower rates of colon cancer. Other studies suggest that it may lower cholesterol levels and prevent cardiovascular disease.

Oat Bran
Oats are one of the most nutritious whole grains available. They contain essential nutrients such as magnesium, zinc, iron, vitamin B, vitamin E, selenium, potassium, copper, phosphorus, manganese, calcium and protein.

They are also rich in dietary fiber, antioxidants, phytochemicals and beta-glucans. Beta-glucans are polysaccharides similar to cellulose, but are not digestible by humans.

Beta-glucans have been shown to improve immune function, increase nutrient absorption and protect against certain types of cancer.

One study suggests that eating oats every day may help prevent constipation. Another study showed that eating oatmeal daily helped relieve constipation in children.

Psyllium Husks
Psyllium husks are derived from the seeds of the plant Plantago ovata. They are high in soluble fibers that retain water in the intestinal tract and create a gel-like substance. This helps soften the stool and move it through the system.

Studies show that the powder can help relieve constipation. One study suggested that taking 4 grams of this husk twice a day for 3 months improved stool consistency and frequency in patients with chronic idiopathic constipation.

Other research shows that it may help maintain healthy blood sugar levels. In addition, they may help reduce cholesterol levels.

Clay, Bentonite
People use bentonite clay, also renowned as “healing clay,” to detox their bodies and enhance digestion.

By eliminating toxins, chemicals that stress out the digestive system, and toxic substances from the gut, bentonite clay enhances digestion. It has potent antibacterial properties that can be used to treat digestion issues and neutralize bacteria.

Additionally, bentonite clay strengthens the gut wall and immune system.

Flax Seeds
Flax seeds are frequently employed in the treatment of constipation and digestive issues. It also lowers LDL cholesterol and total blood cholesterol, lowering the heart disease risk.

Because they are high in soluble fiber, which slows digestion and increases feelings of fullness, flaxseed also aids in weight loss.

Prune
A fruit-rich in vitamins, minerals, fiber, and antioxidants, prunes are very nutrient-dense. For relief from constipation, people frequently use prunes and prune juice. The feces gain size as a result, moving throughout your digestive tract more quickly.
