Constipation can be described as less than three bowel movements per
week or less than the usual pattern. Usually the waste material has
become compact and hard, making evacuation painful. It can result from a
variety of causes, such as lack of exercise, insufficient water or
fibre in the diet, ignoring the urge, stress and tension, or medical
conditions (eg. intestinal obstruction and irritable colon). In the
majority of cases constipation is a consequence of lifestyle factors and
can be corrected through diet and exercise.
Herbal Laxative contains senna and buckthorn which have been
traditionally-used for hundreds of years because of their characteristic
laxative actions. We now know these herbs contain a unique
scientifically-proven class of substances called 'hydroxyanthracenes'. I
have blended these herbs with the non-active herbs psyllium, dill and
liquorice to ensure a pleasant taste and gentle laxative action.
