The cleansing recipe that will cure your constipation

When you’re constipated, it can be easy to reach for the over-the-counter remedies but they don’t give you the nutrients that your body is crying out for.

Why not give your body a dose of fibre so you can clear out your gut? It tastes great and is fine to drink even when you aren’t backed up.

Psyllium husk renowned for its cleansing properties – it helps bind waste together, while ginger flushes out toxins.
