Top 7 Oils to Ease Occasional Constipation
Being married to a Pediatric Gastroenterologist means there's a lot of poop talk around our house. 💩💩💩
As you're probably aware, constipation is PAINFUL. You may need to seek help from a Gastroenterologist, because belly pain can be a symptom of other serious things - not just constipation.
But once you know constipation is the culprit, here are some natural and effective ways to get things moving. And I especially love that these typically work faster than anything you can pick up over the counter at the drugstore.

Top Essential Oils for Occasional Constipation
DigestZen (digestive blend)
Rub 1-2 drops over stomach in a clockwise motion 3x daily.
In addition to topical use, one of the most effective ways I've found to use this oil is to also take 1 drop in your mouth & swallow it down with a glass of water. ONLY use doTERRA oils for internal use. doTERRA is the brand used in hospitals because of the purity, potency, + consistent results. Other brands are almost always full of synthetics, which are extremely dangerous. Researchers studying essential oils are constantly testing across brands, & doTERRA is the “gold standard” trusted brand. Even within doTERRA, only certain oils are labeled for internal use. DigestZen is one of these.🙂
Tamer blend
Roll over stomach in a clockwise motion 3x daily.
Peppermint softgels (enteric coated to reach lower intestines)
The doTERRA Peppermint Softgels combine doTERRA's pure peppermint (safe for internal use) in an enteric coated softgel. The enteric coating is important here, because it allows the peppermint to get to the lower intestines where it can provide the needed relief. Adults can take 2 softgels if experiencing constipation or belly pain, & kids 8 years and older can have 1 softgel.
Terrazyme Digestive Enzymes
Start with 1 capsule with each meal for the first few days. Then work your way up to 2-3 capsules with each meal. These help your body to digest + better absorb the nutrients from your food.
doTERRA PB Assist Probiotic Complex
Probiotics help to populate your gut with good bacteria. 80% of our immune system resides in the gut, so this is vitally important. Take 1 packet each day. Kids can use it too.
