Herbal Laxative Tea

Sometimes, you just gotta go. This balanced blend pairs time-tested stimulant laxatives with soothing, carminative allies to encourage regularity while easing cramping and gas. Add 1 tsp per cup of boiling water and steep 15+ min (longer for more demulcents). Drink 1–2 cups as needed; many prefer in the evening.

Weight: 125 g (40–60 servings)

Ingredients:

• Rhamnus purshiana (cascara sagrada)
  

Rich in cascarosides (anthraquinone glycosides) that gently stimulate peristalsis to help get things moving.

• Senna cassia (senna)
  

Sennosides support a prompt bowel movement; often used short term at onset of occasional constipation.

• Foeniculum vulgare (fennel)
  

Classic carminative to relax the gut and reduce gas—helps temper stimulant laxative cramping.

• Althaea officinalis (marshmallow)

Demulcent root with soothing mucilage that coats irritated tissues and supports comfortable transit.

• Rumex crispus (yellow dock)

A mild bitter alterative with gentle laxative and bile-flow support; a traditional pairing in regularity blends.

• Zingiber officinalis (ginger)

Warm, settling spice that supports motility and digestion while keeping the cup cozy.

 

Precautions:
Cascara and senna are stimulant laxatives intended for short-term, occasional use only. Do not use with intestinal obstruction, acute abdominal pain, nausea, vomiting, or inflammatory bowel disease. Not recommended in pregnancy or while nursing except under qualified supervision. Discontinue if diarrhea or cramping occurs. Marshmallow may reduce absorption of medications; take herbs and medications at least 2 hours apart. Fennel and ginger have no known precautions. As always, consult a qualified healthcare practitioner if you have a medical condition or take medications.
