this is a quick video on the 7 best natural laxatives now if you’re constipated the problem that you have is mainly in the large intestine more than the small intestine the large intestine has smooth muscle that allows it to contract and push food along this tract and that action is called peristalsis so let’s start with number 1 senna is a really good remedy senator has a certain chemical in it it’s a natural chemical that’s eaten by your friendly bacteria that stimulates smooth muscle it stimulates motility it triggers this peristalsis action not in a small intestine but just in the large intestine the next one is cascara sagrada this is a very popular herbal laxative that does the exact same thing there’s a certain chemical in it that is eaten by the bacteria that will stimulate the smooth muscle contraction now I will say that anytime you’re taking a laxative you can deplete your potassium over a long period of time so if you’re in a situation where you have constipation that you have to take it make sure you take some additional potassium simply because it could deplete your potassium all right next one is black psyllium okay this is a certain fiber that will swell with water because you need that water to form the gel that actually helps things move along but psyllium seed in general is a very popular laxative Castro oil okay is another good laxative it comes from castor seeds and then we have magnesium a lot of people add magnesium to herbs to enhance the effect that magnesium is a mineral that helps relax muscle in general not just skeletal muscle but smooth muscle to allow food to actually go through the body so if you have pain in the colon from some type of spasm magnesium is a great thing to take as well potassium is another mineral that goes along with magnesium it can have a similar effect okay vegetables in general especially fermented vegetables are really good to feed the bacteria but you want to adjust the vegetables sometimes increasing vegetable we’ll feed the microbes to actually help you eliminate but other times you might want to decrease the vegetables especially if you have a condition called SIBO small intestinal bacterial overgrowth because if you took more vegetables fiber that’s fermented especially you are gonna cause more bloating so if you don’t have this adding more vegetables would be a very good thing mainly because a lot of the digestion in the large colon is done by the help of microbes and last thing is actually taking friendly bacteria it’s called probiotics so the combination of adding probiotics with fiber which feed the microbes usually will correct constipation if you want more information on a really good liquid probiotic I put a link down below now a common question that people have is I don’t want to take a laxative because they’re addicting okay well you have to weigh out the advantages versus the disadvantages of having constipation the toxic effect of having chronic constipation is very very very dangerous to the body over a period of time versus the minor side effect of taking a laxative which is not going to be an addiction it might be a small drop in potassium but you can easily take more potassium ultimately want to correct what’s causing the constipation which usually happens to be what you’re eating or a lack of friendly bacteria but it could also be the food that feeds the bacteria which are these things called vegetable fibers our bodies do not have the ability to break down fiber and that’s why we have microbes and as a last note if you haven’t seen my video on the basics of digestion check it out I put it on this screen right here
