Today we're covering the strongest herbal laxatives, the stimulating laxatives. These herbs tend to be rich in anthraquinone glycosides which can irritate and stimulate the digestive tract resulting in quite a cathartic clear out.
We have to approach these herbs with caution as long term use can lead to a reliance on them but with proper care they can be used initially to help break the seal, get the bowels moving and then bringing in long term, safer and gentler approaches to keep the momentum moving in the right direction.
