UPDATED Abdominal Self Massage for Constipation

[@Nellynellz6]

I tried this last night- I’ve been backed up for 6 days now but after the massage this morning I’ve been going to the bathroom a lot more than I have this past week 🙌🏽🙌🏽🙌🏽

[@jenniferstancil5700]

Been 6 days for me too! Hope this works!

[@raelynn75]

@@jenniferstancil5700 did you have any luck?

[@jmc8076]

Late reply but buy some Fleet saline enemas to have one for times like this and if traveling. Also home enema kit (just google lots of info and how to videos). Warm water enema once a week helps to hydrate and clean from inside. Easier to prevent.

[@Techumsa]

Try an enaema

[@terrormilk384]

Do you have constipation chronically or did you have a short one? Wondering cause 6 days seems a lot

[@taylorclark6563]

Did this for about 10 minutes before bed. Felt rumbling in my belly. Woke up, drank some coffee while kind of leaning against my left side on the couch and praise be, it finally happened. Thank you!!!

[@gizzmoremo4455]

😅Great.. Just make sure your loved ones aren't nearby

[@tommac21]

😂😂😂 Yeah I'm sure !!

[@zeib1171]

Did you the oil?

[@sarabarryavon]

Thank you! This massage felt great on my painfully bloated belly! I'm sure it will help things move again as well.

[@YogaLifestylewithMelissa]

Wonderful Sara!

[@pennysathaye]

Thank you so much for this video. I have had a constipation problem for years. Nothing has worked till I tried the self massage. I’m so grateful.

[@YogaLifestylewithMelissa]

you're welcome :)

[@shafiyame4657]

For how many months we have to do it ?

[@lucymuir-morales5495]

I would say as needed.

I am experiencing bleeding hemorrhoids for the first time in my life...I have tried six in the morning, and before 12:00 , I pooped Thank you ...but I have did other yoga and other exercises for bowel movements as well but than you

[@enemanozzle]

Take at least every second day early in the morning on an empty stomach 1 tablespoon (15 ml) castor oil in order to relieve a constipation and to avoid an intestinal blockage.

[@faizahnoor7265]

I had a sluggish bowel movement last night. Painful. This morning I did this massage. It worked. It helped push out the remaining. Thank you so much for sharing.

[@tommac21]

Oh you people are hilarious. You know damn wellthis did absolutely itching for you. Just as it did nothing for me.

[@onlymetal6367]

I did your exercise and pooped the next morning!! I have had severe inability to poop all of my life and within minutes you fixed it. I am eternally grateful! Thank you🎉

[@YogaLifestylewithMelissa]

I'm so glad it helped you. That can be so uncomfortable.

​@@ion8264please notify me if it worked for her because I had the same problem as her 😂😭

[@sadefoy]

I just stumbled across this video. It hasn’t helped me yet but you’re very clear in your delivery and I appreciate that you’re trying to get us a oil link that works. I’ve had SIBO on and off for years and nothing is working to help me go to the bathroom a lot even a lot of laxatives. I’m hoping these massages can help stimulate it.

[@YogaLifestylewithMelissa]

Hope that it helped you

[@nightnyungwe5945]

Tried this with what I had: Nivea lotion and it worked though not as nice as using oil. Was able to go in the morning but after breakfast. Thank you very much.

[@YogaLifestylewithMelissa]

So glad it worked for you

[@juneinuzuka4009]

Thank you- tried all the usual. Tried the massage and it worked! To make sure it wasn't a fluke used twice more. Worked each time and did not have a problem for 4 months.

[@YogaLifestylewithMelissa]

So glad this is working for you and so many others here on my channel 💗🪽🙏

[@dononeal3313]

Does this work for men as well, and can you use any type of oil?

[@Emily19677]

@@dononeal3313Yes- our digestive systems are in the same general area. And I’ve had success not using any lotion/oil at all, so I imagine anything would work.

[@notepad7871]

How long do I need to massage and how long afterwards till it takes affect? Been feeling like a balloon is inflating and deflating in my stomach for the passed couple days

[@m.g.d4721]

Don’t eat bread, tortillas or pasta. Keep massaging and drink plenty of water.

[@pcstew]

I just did this and I hear my belly gurgling all over. Hopefully it will help me in the morning! Thank you

[@katyh2599]

Have you any tips on helping my poor gut after having to have 2 colonoscopies, the second with a removal of large polyp. I had this done with no meds and my colon feels traumatised.

[@Roadsv]

took laxatives (stuff like milk of magensia or however u spell it) did multiple exercises and it still feels like i have to poop / none coming out (my stomach doesn't hurt either)

[@Kanonfangirl]

YOU ROCK. I did this last night when I was drinking coffee and it worked within like 10 minutes. No joke. Then I woke up this morning and had a big poo! As a vegetarian on keto, I thank you greatly. I CAN POOP NOW! Though I used cocoa butter vitamin E oil :P it’s what I had and I have some scarring that needs it anyway :)

Can I do this with a Colitis flare up? And do I do this massage once or over a few minutes? I'm miserable and need to get this out of me but this flare up is making this worse and painful.

[@stuartwilkes1878]

Hi Mellisa I do this before I go to bed and in morning how many times around naval .Is it okay if I use protectve hand moisturizer cream when massaging instead of oil ? Thank I appreciate it if you can get back to me

[@YogaLifestylewithMelissa]

Hand moisturizer works, 5-10 times around the navel should work.

Can pregnant woman also doing this?

Hi Leah, Thanks for asking, no this is not a good idea if you are pregnant. If you are having trouble with constipation you need to speak with your OBGYN.

Am I the only one who didn’t have any results with this? I was feeling really hopeful it would work but have tried it a few times with no help. 😢

Is the oil necessary?

Not necessarily! It helps probably but I use cold water to stimulate my vagus nerve on my stomach I do the massage with vaseline lotion,coconut oil,or tea tree oil. That’s all I have available at my house,as long as it’s an essential oil safe for skin you can use it
