How does kerosene oil work to treat constipation?
Unlike other edible oils, kerosene oil does not pass through the digestive mucosa. When ingested, it lines the mucous membrane of the colon and rectum, then acts as a lubricant to facilitate stool elimination. It also softens fecal matter, making it easier to pass. Its mode of action is mechanical, making stool elimination less painful in cases of anal fissure, for example.
Preferably taken between meals. If taken in the evening, it is advisable not to go to bed within 2 hours of taking it (see "Warnings and Precautions for Use"), and to take into account the time it takes to take effect (6-8 hours).

What to do about constipation Effective remedies in case of crisis!
Anti-constipation treatments depend on the type of constipation you suffer from, its cause(s) and its manifestations.
The first step in combating constipation is to change your eating habits. It's always preferable to act preventively, with natural remedies that help you understand where your constipation comes from, rather than as an emergency measure, with laxative drugs that may relieve you, but don't help you understand the origin and cause of your constipation.
However, this takes time and is not always enough. In some cases, therefore, laxative substances - whether natural or medicated - can help.
