The art and science of the perfect bowel movement! Do you think you don't have constipation? Think again! Let's discuss, transit time, consistency, frequency and herbs that can help us to get regular. All disease starts in the gut, so this is a serious topic. Luckily Herbalism has all the answers and many options to create the perfect gut protocol. We discuss fibers and demulcents, like psyllium, flaxseed and dried prunes, Magnesium with its osmotic action that draws more moisture to the bowels, and herbs with a laxative or purgative action like Senna, Cascara Sagrada, Aloe, Rhubarb root, and Haritaki which is an herb from Ayurveda, part of the popular formula Triphala. These herbs act on the peristalsis of the large intestine, that's why we also call them squeezers. But there is even more to perfect digestion, like Probiotics, herbs that dispel gas and enhance our digestive fire called carminatives, bitters and non-herbal ways for a better experience on the toilet, like squatting.
