Soothing Digestive Support Drink for Constipation Relief
This simple digestive wellness drink combines warm water, lemon juice, and natural ingredients to support hydration and help maintain regular bowel movements. Staying hydrated can help soften stools, while gradually increasing dietary fiber may improve constipation. Although no homemade drink can remove all trapped stool or completely cleanse the colon, healthy daily habits can support comfortable digestion.

1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice
1 teaspoon honey (optional)
1 teaspoon soaked chia seeds (optional, for added fiber)

⏰ How to Use
