To fight postpartum constipation, products of the hive will be great allies.
You can mix 500 g of jujube honey, 10 g of propolis, 10 g of royal jelly, 20 g of bee pollen, and 20 g of ground black seed.
In addition, it will be essential to boost the immune system in order to fight fatigue, since fatigue can be the cause of blockages in the digestive system.
It will also be important to favor soups such as oat, millet, or barley soup.
Finally, orange, lemon, beet, or carrot juices will help fight constipation and provide vitality.
What the science says: fiber and digestion, pregnancy, propolis, royal jelly and hive products
What published research says about the remedies mentioned above, for context only — studies address material causes, while healing belongs to Allah.
Fiber and digestion
A meta-analysis from the American Journal of Clinical Nutrition confirms that fiber supplementation improves stool frequency and chronic constipation in adults (Am J Clin Nutr, 2022); in children, non-drug approaches are validated (J Pediatr, 2022). Vegetables, whole fruits, legumes, barley, flaxseed or psyllium are good sources. Precaution: increase intake gradually and drink more water — fiber without enough water can worsen constipation; avoid enemas and purges without medical advice (Am J Gastroenterol, 2009).
Pregnancy
Ginger is the reference natural remedy for pregnancy-related nausea (J Matern Fetal Neonatal Med, 2022) (J Am Board Fam Med, 2014); dates eaten in late pregnancy ease labor (Explore, 2021); iron and folic acid levels are monitored (Acta Obstet Gynecol Scand, 2023). Precaution: many plants are not recommended during pregnancy (essential oils, hormonal plants, laxative plants, fenugreek) — do not take any supplement without the advice of a midwife or doctor.
Propolis, royal jelly and hive products
Propolis, a resin gathered by bees, shows wound-healing effects confirmed by a meta-analysis on skin wounds (Arch Dermatol Res, 2023) and shows promise for oral health (J Funct Biomater, 2024). Like honey, these products are part of the apitherapy that the professor recommends to support immunity. Precaution: allergic reactions to hive products are possible (especially propolis and bee pollen) — start with small amounts; bee venom should only be used under a trained professional.
