Abdominal MassageFor Constipation Relief Here are two techniques of abdominal massage you can try: 1. Before going to sleep, lie on your back.

( Hopefully you are not bloated from supper ) Then gradually, in a slanted downward direction rub towards the leg. Note: The purpose of these massages is to stimulate your sigmoid colon.

You can also massage your sigmoid colon the moment you have settled comfortably onto the toilet bowl. Don't forget consistency in pampering your sigmoid colon promotes regularity.
