If you’re referring to the claim about 3 natural remedies for constipation, the evidence supports several simple approaches. The most useful are:
Prunes or prune juice 🍑
Prunes provide fiber and naturally occurring compounds that help draw water into the colon, which can make stools easier to pass.

Increase fiber gradually 🌾
Fruits, vegetables, beans, whole grains, nuts, and foods such as pears can help. Adults generally need about 22–34 g of fiber per day, depending on age and sex. Increase it gradually and drink enough fluids, otherwise bloating can worsen.

Water + movement 💧🚶
Adequate fluids help keep stools softer, while regular physical activity can stimulate movement through the colon. Even a daily walk can be helpful.

A useful bathroom habit: Try sitting on the toilet 15–45 minutes after breakfast, don’t ignore the urge to go, and consider placing your feet on a small footstool to make the position more comfortable.

⚠️ If constipation is persistent or accompanied by blood in the stool, rectal bleeding, continual abdominal pain, vomiting, or unexplained weight loss, it should be medically evaluated rather than treated only with home remedies.
