LISTEN TO YOUR COLON: The Complete Natural Healing Guide for Constipation (2nd edition) – by Jini Patel Thompson
Colon and gut-health expert Jini Patel Thompson shares proven, natural remedies for constipation relief and bowel healing. This expanded 2nd Edition includes updated protocols for hemorrhoids, anal fissures, and rectal or anal stricture, along with step-by-step guidance for restoring healthy, natural bowel movements — gently and safely.
Now Updated for 2025 – Expanded protocols, new quick-action treatments, and deeper healing guidance.
The new 2nd Edition of Listen To Your Colon takes Jini Patel Thompson’s pioneering work on constipation and expands it with even more step-by-step, natural healing protocols.
This updated guide goes far beyond “fixing” constipation — it helps you heal it at the root. You’ll learn to restore your body’s natural bowel rhythm by addressing physical, emotional, and nutritional causes together.
Jini shows you how to retrain your intestines to move naturally again — without harsh laxatives or dependency — using safe, natural, time-tested methods that work gently with your body.
What You’ll Learn Inside:
- The two distinct types of constipation (peristaltic and stenosis) — and how treatment differs for each.
- How to use wild oregano oil and probiotics to rebalance your gut flora and support long-term healing.
- Jini’s mind-body approach — how stress, trauma, and stored tension in your colon affect peristalsis (the muscular contraction of your intestines that moves stool along and out), and how to release them.
- Detailed natural protocols for hemorrhoids, fissures, and spastic colon.
- Colonic massage and castor oil pack techniques for faster, more comfortable bowel movements, and reduced bloating and pain.
- Safe, effective use of magnesium, potassium, and vitamin C to stimulate the bowels naturally. Nature’s laxatives that nourish your body at the same time!
- Gentle colon cleansing methods — including herbal and probiotic retention enemas — to clear toxicity without harsh purging.
- Dietary guidance: which foods relieve or worsen constipation, the best fats and which type of fiber to use for colon health, and Jini’s “Maintenance Diet.”
- New Quick-Action Treatment Plan for immediate relief when you need it most.
- Expanded Children and Baby Constipation Protocols for parents seeking safe, natural solutions.
If you’ve been constipated for months — or even years — this book will help you finally understand why.
You’ll learn not only what to do for quick relief, but how to restore normal, healthy bowel function for life.
The 2nd Edition includes over a dozen new sub-sections, updated supplement recommendations, expanded emotional healing tools, and cross-referenced resources from Jini’s blog, podcasts, and her curated formulas.

Feedback for Listen To Your Colon
“I did the recommended treatment for the constipation as given in Listen To Your Colon and I have been going everyday since. I am very happy with the recommendations from the book and plan to do another probiotic retention enema when I get the rectum healed.”
Laurinda K., Illinois
“As I had problems with constipation, my stools were often bloody. Then I ordered your book and started taking vitamin C, Omega-3 oil, MucosaHeal and probiotics. This book is full of useful information one can find nowhere else. I have to admit I did not expect such a complete healing program. I am really happy to be healthy again. What I find as most important is the fact that in case the symptoms reappear I know exactly what to do.”
Maria N., South Carolina
“Eleven days after beginning I had my first ‘natural’ bowel movement in more than a year (I have been doing 1 litre warm water enemas for the last couple of years). I am very grateful to your book and will continue with the probiotics and the Magnesium/Potassium. Thank you for your help.
Kerrie L., New South Wales
“Hi Jini and thank you for this amazing book! It has really helped me. I did the oil of oregano for about a month along with the probiotics. After the 1st month things started to really improve for me and now I’m going everyday. I’m still taking the probiotics and probably will stay on them for at least another month or so. Your book has been a big help. Peace be with you and your family. May you be truly blessed!
