Founder's Note

From Mohit, founder of Chau Foods

We grew up with the Indian fix for a bad stomach - soak two figs overnight, eat them in the morning, drink the soaking water. No tablets. The fibre softens stool, the soaking water is gentle on the gut, and within a day or two things move. The other one our family swore by was a glass of raisin water - same idea. The modern additions are chia and flax, which are technically seeds but do the same job: absorb water, add bulk, ease passage. The only rule everyone forgets: more fibre needs more water. Skip the water and you make constipation worse, not better. - Mohit

The Simple Fix Most People Skip

If digestion is sluggish or you are often constipated, the fix is usually simpler than you'd think: more fibre and more water. Dry fruits and seeds are among the most concentrated natural fibre sources available, and several have a gentle, traditional reputation for getting things moving - without harsh laxatives.

1

Dried figs (anjeer) - the classic Indian remedy

High in fibre and a long-trusted natural remedy for constipation. Soak 2-3 overnight and eat in the morning. The soaking water itself helps.

2

Soaked raisins (kishmish) - fibre plus natural sorbitol

Fibre plus natural sorbitol, which softens stool. The soaking water itself is a gentle morning tonic - many Indian families swear by it.

3

Chia seeds - gel that adds bulk

Chia seeds absorb many times their weight in water to form a gel that adds bulk and eases passage. Always take with plenty of water - never dry.

4

Flax seeds - soluble fibre and omega-3

Soluble fibre and omega-3s. Best taken ground so the body can use them. Great stirred into curd, water, or a smoothie.

5

Prunes / dried apricots - classic fibre options

The well-known fibre-rich choices for regularity, with the added benefit of natural sugars and antioxidants.

How to Use Them

Start your day with 2-3 soaked figs or a tablespoon of soaked raisins. Add a teaspoon of chia or ground flax to water, curd, or a smoothie. The golden rule: increase fibre gradually and drink plenty of water. Fibre without water can make constipation worse, not better.

Common Questions

Which dry fruit is best for constipation? Soaked figs and soaked raisins are the gentlest and most traditional; chia and flax add fibre bulk.

How fast do they work? Often within a day or two with enough water. But consistent daily fibre is what keeps digestion regular.

Are they safe daily? Yes, in normal quantities, as part of a balanced diet.

If constipation is severe, sudden, or accompanied by pain, blood, or other symptoms, please see a doctor - it can occasionally signal something that needs medical attention, not just more fibre.
