All Natural Laxative

Okay this is unusual. However, having a toddler who occasionally suffers from constipation and working in a Cancer Center where patients often suffer from constipation; I've discovered this recipe for an all natural laxative that I would like to share. * Also ideal for pregnancy-related constipation.

Ingredients:
1 1/4 cups unprocessed bran
1 cup prune juice
1 Tablespoon molasses or honey
1 cup applesauce

Procedure:
Mix ingredients together and store in a covered container in the refrigerator for up to 7 days. Stir prior to taking. Take 2 Tablespoons every night as needed.

Notes:
The high fiber content acts by drawing water into the colon, softening the stool and aiding in bowel movements. It is very important to drink fluids to increase the effectiveness of the fiber.
