A. Give her apple juice and prune juice. Mix the juice of half a lemon in a glass of warm water and add honey to it and give it to her early in the morning on an empty stomach. Add 1-2 spoonfuls of honey to a glass of milk and give it to her on an empty stomach. Or boil some flax seeds in water for sometime, then strain and give this water to her.
