Lots of over the counter and prescription drugs, but they all have bad side effects, and sometimes they don’t even work.

Which is where essential oils come in. They are a natural way to help you with your poop problems, and no side effects. So continue reading to find out the best essential oils for constipation.

Digestive Blend

Digestive blend is the go to for constipation. My oil company that I use has a digestive blend and any oil company would have this oil blend, just maybe they call it something else. Now, my oil company comes with the digestive blend oil in a roller ball bottle with it already diluted with coconut oil. If you would like to get this go to my own oil page.

But if you would like to make your own roller ball bottle, fill about half of a 10ml roller ball bottle with the digestive blend oil and then fill the rest up with coconut oil. Here are some roller ball bottles and coconut oils that I recommend.

Once you have your rollerball bottle either bought or made then you can apply it. This is important, when you have trouble with constipation you need to roll this oil around your belly button CLOCKWISE. This will help get things moving in your digestive tract.

Cassia Essential Oil

You want to do this recipe if you need instant relief, because cassia is one of the best essential oils for constipation. So if you need something to help you right now, this is it. So you put 15 drops of cassia into a cup of warm water, and then had a tablespoon of honey also. And stir it call up.

Then you drink it, but avoid letting it touch your lips because the cassia can kind of burn your lips. So you want to kind of throw it back like a shot. Here are some shot glasses you could use to make this drink.

Usually you do not need to do this drink concoction more than once because it should work within an hour or two. But you can do up to twice a day and you could do for about 4-5 days in a row. But, again, you will probably only need one and have instant relief.

Marjoram and Rosemary

These two oils are also another option and considered some of the best essential oils for constipation. Interesting fact, these two oils are also helpful with sciatica back pain. Go check out my blog post all about it.

To use these two oils for constipation, put two drops of each marjoram and rosemary in your hand along with four drops of coconut oil. Then mix together in your hand with your finger. And apply to your abdomen in a clockwise circle around the belly button. You can apply this multiple times a day.

It is 10 drops of coriander, 14 drops of wild orange, 8 drops of lemon, and 8 drops of ginger. Put all these essential oils into a 10ml roller ball bottle and then fill the rest with the coconut oil. I put the recipe down at the bottom so it will be simple for you to find.

Then you need to roll on your belly. Roll it clock wise around your belly button. You can do this as many times as you want throughout the day. That is the great thing about essential oils. Unlike medication you can use the oils as much as you want.
