If you are one of those who often suffer from the problem of constipation, then we are sure that you must have already tried different kinds of home remedies to get rid of it. From ajwain water to senna leaves, there is no dearth of home remedies for constipation. But if even after trying all these remedies, your irregular bowel movement hasn’t improved, then make coconut oil your best friend. Coconut oil is a superfood that is vouched for its amazing health benefits by both science and Ayurveda. From hair growth to losing weight, this oil can be beneficial for all. Another addition to this long list is constipation. It is believed that the oil contains an abundance of medium-chain fatty acids (MCFAs), which help to stimulate bowel movements and soften the stool. MCFAs are found in medium-chain triglycerides (MCTs) and are a form of fatty acids that have a range of health benefits.
