Hello,Welcome to the HCM,
I am going tell you a remedy ,hopefully it will help out.
Apple Juice, Raisins and Figs
Mix a mixture made of cup of fresh apple juice, a small apple, an equal quantity of fresh or dry raisins and figs by your choice in a blender. Do a little experimenting in the process. It is best for the mixture you get not to be too thick. You can also add an apple juice little more if you wish.
The above mentioned remedy is very helpfull to relieve the constipation ,if your mother will take it early in the morning before breakfast.
