My mahjong friends all say every morning you drink one spoonful of pure sesame oil on an empty stomach, and it cures constipation completely. They say the oil slides down and 'slips the poison out' of your intestines, all the bad stuff comes out with the poop, so your body becomes clean inside. Ah-Fong's mother-in-law did this for one month and threw away her lactulose syrup and never needed stool softener again, she said the medicine was making her intestine lazy. My daughter-in-law also buys the expensive cold-pressed sesame oil for me. I have high blood pressure but my medicine for that I still take, only the constipation medicine I want to stop because the oil is natural, no side effect. Is it true that sesame oil can cure constipation better than the stool softener the doctor gave me?
