Ashley from the city of Montpelier Vermont sent in this often asked question. She asked can carrot juice be used as a home remedy laxative? Fresh homemade carrot juice can certainly loosen your stools or even cause diarrhea if consumed on a totally empty stomach, however it is not generally regarded as an all natural laxative for treating constipation. If you are interested in a carrot juice constipation remedy, then I would suggest mixing it with warm prune juice. Another extremely effective all natural laxative would be carrot juice mixed with fresh apricot juice. I should point out that if you plan to drink any fresh made fruit or vegetable juices for the purpose of treating constipation, then also be sure to drink a lot of water along with the juice. As is often the case with many light or mild cases of constipation it's the result of being dehydrated. We would like to thank Ashley again for this great question. Please direct any further carrot juice related questions to us.
