5. 🧂 Occasional Warm Salt Water Drink

Some people find this home remedy helpful for occasional gentle flushing — but it’s best to use only when you’re home and not daily.

Recipe:

  • 1 cup warm water

  • 1 teaspoon sea salt

  • Juice of ½ lemon

Drink slowly in the evening and stay near a restroom. This simple mix can help you feel refreshed when used responsibly.

6. 🦠 Add Fermented Foods for a Happy Gut

Probiotic-rich foods support the good bacteria that keep your digestion balanced.

Great options:

  • Yogurt with live cultures

  • Kimchi or sauerkraut

  • Kombucha

  • Kefir or miso soup

Start small and let your body adjust — a little goes a long way.

7. 🧘‍♀️ Gentle Movement Before Sleep

Light stretching or yoga can help stimulate digestion while relaxing your body and mind.

Try these calming poses:
🧘‍♀️ Child’s Pose — releases abdominal tension
🧘‍♀️ Seated Spinal Twist — supports gut circulation
🧘‍♀️ Legs-Up-The-Wall — reduces stress and bloating
🧘‍♀️ Cat-Cow — softly massages the abdomen

Even 5–10 minutes can help you feel calm and balanced before bed.
