The study introduces natural remedies in the form of smoothies, carefully crafted from locally sourced ingredients, with specific emphasis on the Coriander and Palak variants. These smoothies emerge as promising interventions, promoting gastrointestinal health. Rigorous sensory evaluations, employing both Composite Rating Score and Hedonic score analyses, provide comprehensive insights into the organoleptic attributes of these smoothies.

Analyzing the data using ANOVA, the study delves into the clinical efficacy of the smoothie intervention over a one-month period. The findings reveal substantial improvements in various gastrointestinal symptoms, highlighting the positive impact on digestive well-being. Despite these promising outcomes, the study acknowledges specific limitations, particularly in addressing bloating during menstrual periods in females, suggesting avenues for targeted modifications in future interventions.

Organoleptic evaluations further enrich the study, with the Coriander and Palak smoothies standing out as preferred choices based on both Composite Rating Score and Hedonic score assessments. These outcomes underscore the significance of sensory attributes in the success of dietary interventions.

In conclusion, this study not only offers effective solutions for chronic constipation but envisions a future where healthful eating becomes a culturally embedded, joyful experience. The integration of both clinical and sensory evaluations provides a comprehensive understanding, paving the way for more tailored and appealing dietary recommendations in the management of gastrointestinal disorders.
