Can sesame oil cure constipation?

Sesame oil can relieve constipation to a certain extent.

Sesame oil has the effect of moistening intestines. Its smooth properties can make it easier for feces to pass through the intestines and reduce the time for feces to stay in the intestines, thus improving constipation. For some cases where stools are dry and difficult, sesame oil can help make stools relatively soft and easier to pass out of the body. However, sesame oil is not a complete substitute for regular treatment. If constipation is caused by organic diseases, such as intestinal tumors, intestinal obstruction, etc., relying solely on sesame oil cannot solve the underlying problem, and it is necessary to seek medical attention for detailed examination and targeted treatment.

Moreover, the use of sesame oil should also be noted. Excessive use may lead to diarrhea and other discomfort reactions.

For long-term or severe constipation patients, it is not possible to rely solely on sesame oil to improve.
